Question

Evaluate the following definite integrals:

`int_3^4 (d"x)/(x^2 - 4)`

Sum

Solution

Let I = `int_3^4 (d"x)/(x^2 - 4)`

= `int_3^4 ("d"x)/(x^2 - 2^2)`   ......`[because ("d"x)/(x^2 - 2^2) = 1/(2"a") log((x - "a")/(x   "a"))]`

= `[1/(2(2)) log((x - 2)/(x + 2))]_3^4`

= `1/4[log(2/6) - log(1/5)]`

= `1/4[log(2/6 xx 5/1)]`

= `1/4 log (5/3)`
