I actually have several questions but to start. Integrate (((x+2)/(x-1))2(dx/x)). I have tried integrating by parts but somewhere I seem to mess up. On a different note for integrating ((dx)/((x+1)(2x+1))) I got ln(2x+1)-ln(x+1) + c is this correct? Please I really need help with knowing how to do these as well what the correct answer is.

Look at this web page. Cick the show steps tab.

It would be by partial fractions:

* Edit: I read it wrong.


The integral of \(\displaystyle \dfrac{(x + 2)^2}{x(x - 1)^2} dx\)

The partial fraction decomposition should be:

\(\displaystyle \dfrac{(x+2)^2}{x(x - 1)^2} \ = \ \dfrac{A}{x} \ + \dfrac{B}{x - 1} \ + \dfrac{C}{(x - 1)^2} \)

Differentiate ln(2x+1) - ln(x+1) + c

I
f you get the original expression [1/{(x+1)(2x+1)}] back - you are most probably correct.
