Exam questions on Integration using partial fractions

  1. Let f(x)=4x+5(x+1)(x+2)f(x)=\frac{4x+5}{(x+1)(x+2)} for x>−1x>-1.
    Hence find ∫02f(x) dx\int_0^2f(x)\,dx, giving your answer in the form ln⁡k\ln k.2 marks
  2. A curve CC has gradient dydx=23x+5+3(x−1)2\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2}{3x+5}+\frac{3}{(x-1)^2} for x>1x>1.
    The curve CC passes through the point (2,1)(2,1). Find the equation of CC.2 marks
  3. Let f(x)=5x+7(x−1)(x+3)f(x)=\frac{5x+7}{(x-1)(x+3)} for x>1x>1.
    Express f(x)f(x) in partial fractions.3 marks
