Q13 Integrate the rational functions $\frac{2}{(1-x)(1+ x^2)}$

Answers (1)

best_answer

Given function $\frac{2}{(1-x)(1+ x^2)}$

can be rewritten as $\frac{2}{(1-x)(1+ x^2)} = \frac{A}{(1-x)}+\frac{Bx+C}{1+x^2}$

$2 =A(1+x^2)+(Bx+C)(1-x)$ ....................(1)

$2 =A +Ax^2 +Bx-Bx^2+C-Cx$

Now, equating the coefficient of $x^2, x,$ and constant term, we get

$A-B= 0$ , $B-C = 0$ , and $A+C =2$

Solving these equations, we get

$A=1, B=1,\ and\ C=1$

Therefore,

$\therefore \frac{2}{(1-x)(1+ x^2)} = \frac{1}{(1-x)}+\frac{x+1}{1+x^2}$

$\implies \int \frac{2}{(1-x)(1+ x^2)}dx =\int \frac{1}{(1-x)} dx+ \int \frac{x}{1+x^2}dx +\int \frac{1}{1+x^2}dx$ $= -\int \frac{1}{x-1}dx +\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{2x}{1+x^2}dx +\int\frac{1}{1+x^2}dx$

$=-\log|x-1| +\frac{1}{2}\log|1+x^2| +\tan^{-1}x+C$
