Question

Evaluate the following definite integrals: `int_1^2 dx/(x^2 + 6x + 5)`

Sum

Solution

Let I = `int_1^2 dx/(x^2 + 6x + 5)`

= `int_1^2 dx/(x^2 + 6x + 9 - 9 + 5)`

= `int_1^2 dx/((x + 3)^2 - (2)^2`

= `(1)/(2 x 2)[log|(x + 3 - 2)/(x + 3 + 2)|]_1^2`

= `(1)/(4)[log|(x + 1)/(x + 5)|]_1^2`

= `(1)/(4)[log  (3)/(7) - log  (2)/(6)]`

= `(1)/(4)log(3/7 xx 6/2)`

∴ I `(1)/(4)log(9/7)`.
