Answer: log\left ( \frac{32}{27} \right )

Hint: Use indefinite formula then put the limit to solve this integral

Given:\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)} d x

Solution:

            \int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)} d x                                                                    ..................(1)

To solve this integral, first we will final its partial fraction then integrate it with the given limits.

So,\frac{x}{\left ( x+1 \right )\left ( x+2 \right )}=\frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{B}{x+2}                                                        ............................(2)

\begin{aligned} &x=\frac{A(x+1)(x+2)}{(x+1)}+\frac{B(x+1)(x+2)}{(x+2)} \\ &\Rightarrow x=A(x+2)+B(x+1) \\ &\Rightarrow x=A x+2 A+B x+B \\ &\Rightarrow x=(A+B) x+2 A+B \end{aligned}

Equating coefficient of x from both sides,

1=A+B                                                                                                ........................(a)

And again equating coefficients of constant term from both sides, then

0=2A+B\Rightarrow 2A=-B\Rightarrow B=-2A                                            ........................(b)

Put the value of A from (b) in (a) then

\begin{gathered} 1=A+(-2 A)=A-2 A=-A \\ A=-1 \\ \Rightarrow B=-2 A=-2(-1)=2 \end{gathered}

SoA=-1,B=2

Then equation (2) becomes

\frac{x}{\left ( x+1 \right )\left ( x+2 \right )}=\frac{-1}{x+1}+\frac{2}{x+2}

Now equation (1)

\Rightarrow \int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)} d x=\int_{1}^{2} \frac{-1}{x+1} d x+2 \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x+2} d x                                            ..................(3)

\int_{1}^{2}\frac{1}{x+1}dx

Putting x+1=t\Rightarrow dx=dt

When x=1  then t=1+1=2

And When x=2 then t=2+1=3

Then \left.\left.\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x+1} d x=\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{t} d t=[\log \mid t]\right]_{2}^{3} \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\int \frac{1}{x} d x=\log \mid x\right]\right]

=\left [ log\left | 3 \right |-log\left | 2 \right | \right ]

=\left [ log3-log2 \right ]                                                                            .......................(4)

and \int_{1}^{2}\frac{1}{x+1}dx

Putting x+2=u\Rightarrow dx=du

When x=1 then u=2+1=3

And x=2  then  u=2+2=4

Then\begin{aligned} \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x+2} d x &=\int_{3}^{4} \frac{1}{u} d u=[\log |u|]_{3}^{4} \\ &=\log |4|-\log |3|=\log 4-\log 3 \end{aligned}                                        ......(5)

\begin{aligned} &\int_{1}^{2} \frac{x}{(x+1)(x+2)} d x=-\int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x+1} d x+2 \int_{1}^{2} \frac{1}{x+2} d x \\ &=-[\log 3-\log 2]+2[\log 4-\log 3] \\ &=-\log 3+\log 2+2 \log 2^{2}-2 \log 3 \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \quad\left[\log a^{m}=m \log a\right] \\ &=-3 \log 3+\log 2+4 \log 2 \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &=-3 \log 3+5 \log 2\\ &\begin{aligned} &=5 \log 2-3 \log 3 \\ &=\log 2^{5}-\log 3^{3} \end{aligned}\; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \; \left[\log a-\log b=\log \frac{a}{b}\right]\\ &=\log 32-\log 27 \end{aligned}

=log\left ( \frac{32}{27} \right )
