  • Evaluate the following: int 2x minus 1 by x minus 1 x plus 2 x minus 3 dx

Evaluate the following:

\int \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} d x

Answers (1)

Given:

\int \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} d x

Using the concept of partial fractions,

\\ \Rightarrow \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)}=\frac{A}{(x-1)}+\frac{B}{(x+2)}+\frac{C}{(x-3)}$\\ $\Rightarrow 2 x-1=x^{2}(A+B+C)+x(C-4 B-A)+(3 B-2 C-6 A)$\\ Comparing coefficients:\\ $\Rightarrow A+B+C=0 \ldots(1)\\

\\ \begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow C-4 B-A=2 \ldots(2)\\ &\Rightarrow 3 B-2 C-6 A=-1 \ldots(3)\\ &\Rightarrow \text { On solving }(1),(2) \text { and }(3) \text { we get }\\ &\Rightarrow A=-\frac{1}{6}, B=-\frac{1}{3} \text { and } C=\frac{1}{2} \end{aligned}

\\ =\frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)}=\frac{-\frac{1}{6}}{(x-1)}+\frac{-\frac{1}{2}}{(x+2)}+\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{(x-3)} \\ \Rightarrow \int \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} d x=\int \frac{1}{2(x-3)} d x-\int \frac{1}{3(x+2)} d x-\int \frac{1}{6(x-1)} d x

\\ =\frac{1}{2} \ln (x-3)-\frac{1}{3} \ln (x+2)-\frac{1}{6} \ln (x-1)+c \\ \Rightarrow \int \frac{2 x-1}{(x-1)(x+2)(x-3)} d x=\frac{1}{2} \ln (x-3)-\frac{1}{3} \ln (x+2)-\frac{1}{6} \ln (x-1)+c
