Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Short Answer #48

Evaluate \(\int \frac{x}{x^{2} + 3 x + 2}\,dx\). Work on each connected open interval where the real integrand is defined.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(- \log{\left(\left|{x + 1}\right| \right)} + 2 \log{\left(\left|{x + 2}\right| \right)}\) + C
  1. Factor the denominator as (x+1)(x+2).
  2. Partial fractions give x/[(x+1)(x+2)]=−1/(x+1)+2/(x+2). Integrate each reciprocal.
  3. Therefore the required integral is \(- \log{\left(\left|{x + 1}\right| \right)} + 2 \log{\left(\left|{x + 2}\right| \right)}\) + C.

  • [0.5 marks] Factor the denominator as (x+1)(x+2).
  • [1 mark] Partial fractions give x/[(x+1)(x+2)]=−1/(x+1)+2/(x+2). Integrate each reciprocal.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the required integral is \(- \log{\left(\left|{x + 1}\right| \right)} + 2 \log{\left(\left|{x + 2}\right| \right)}\) + C.
