Given function $\frac{3x+ 5 }{x^3 - x^2 - x +1 }$

can be rewritten as $\frac{3x+ 5 }{x^3 - x^2 - x +1 } = \frac{3x+5}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}$

Partial function of this function:

$\frac{3x+5}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}= \frac{A}{(x-1)}+\frac{B}{(x-1)^2}+\frac{C}{(x+1)}$

$3x+5 = A(x-1)(x+1)+B(x+1)+C(x-1)^2$

$3x+5 = A(x^2-1)+B(x+1)+C(x^2+1-2x)$ ................(1)

Now, putting $x=1$ in the above equation, we get

$B =4$

By equating the coefficients of $x^2$ and $x$ , we get

$A+C=0$

$B-2C =3$

then after solving, we get

$A= -\frac{1}{2}\ and\ C=\frac{1}{2}$

Therefore,

$\frac{3x+5}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}= \frac{-1}{2(x-1)}+\frac{4}{(x-1)^2}+\frac{1}{2(x+1)}$

$\int \frac{3x+5}{(x-1)^2(x+1)}dx= \frac{-1}{2}\int \frac{1}{(x-1)}dx+4\int \frac{1}{(x-1)^2} dx+\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{(x+1)}dx$

$= -\frac{1}{2}\log|x-1| +4\left ( \frac{-1}{x-1} \right ) +\frac{1}{2}\log|x+1| +C$

$=\frac{1}{2}\log|\frac{x+1}{x-1}| - \frac{4}{(x-1)} + +C$
