Exam questions on Integration using partial fractions

  1. Let f(x)=5(x+1)(x2+4)f(x)=\frac{5}{(x+1)(x^2+4)}, which is to be written in the form Ax+1+Bx+Cx2+4\frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{Bx+C}{x^2+4}.
    Given that A=1A=1, find the values of BB and CC.2 marks
  2. Let g(x)=1−xx2+4g(x)=\frac{1-x}{x^2+4}.
    Hence find the exact value of ∫02g(x) dx\int_0^2 g(x)\,dx.2 marks
  3. Let f(x)=2x2+17(x+2)(4x2+9)f(x)=\frac{2x^2+17}{(x+2)(4x^2+9)}.
    Express f(x)f(x) in the form Ax+2+Bx+C4x2+9\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{Bx+C}{4x^2+9}, where AA, BB and CC are constants to be found.3 marks
