Answer:

\dfrac{3}{2} \ln |x-4| - \dfrac{1}{2} \ln |x+2| + \text{C}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Fundamental Theorem of Calculus</u>

\displaystyle \int \text{f}(x)\:\text{d}x=\text{F}(x)+\text{C} \iff \text{f}(x)=\dfrac{\text{d}}{\text{d}x}(\text{F}(x))

If differentiating takes you from one function to another, then integrating the second function will take you back to the first with a constant of integration.

Given indefinite integral:

\displaystyle \int \dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)}\:\:\text{d}x

Take <u>partial fractions</u> of the given fraction by writing out the fraction as an <u>identity</u>:

\begin{aligned}\dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)} & \equiv \dfrac{A}{x-4}+\dfrac{B}{x+2}\\\\\implies \dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)} & \equiv \dfrac{A(x+2)}{(x-4)(x+2)}+\dfrac{B(x-4)}{(x-4)(x+2)}\\\\\implies x+5 & \equiv A(x+2)+B(x-4)\end{aligned}

Calculate the values of A and B using substitution:

\textsf{when }x=4 \implies 9 = A(6)+B(0) \implies A=\dfrac{3}{2}

\textsf{when }x=-2 \implies 3 = A(0)+B(-6) \implies B=-\dfrac{1}{2}

Substitute the found values of A and B:

\displaystyle \int \dfrac{x+5}{(x-4)(x+2)}\:\:\text{d}x = \int \dfrac{3}{2(x-4)}-\dfrac{1}{2(x+2)}\:\:\text{d}x

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Terms multiplied by constants}\\\\$\displaystyle \int ax^n\:\text{d}x=a \int x^n \:\text{d}x$\end{minipage}}

If the terms are multiplied by constants, take them outside the integral:

\implies \displaystyle \dfrac{3}{2} \int \dfrac{1}{x-4}- \dfrac{1}{2} \int \dfrac{1}{x+2}\:\:\text{d}x

\boxed{\begin{minipage}{5 cm}\underline{Integrating}\\\\$\displaystyle \int \dfrac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\:\text{d}x=\ln |f(x)| \:\:(+\text{C})$\end{minipage}}

\implies \dfrac{3}{2} \ln |x-4| - \dfrac{1}{2} \ln |x+2| + \text{C}

1.The length of a ship model is 3% of the length of the actual ship. The model is 1.5 M long. How long is the actual ship? ____M
Vilka [71]
We have to find 100% of the number. We can use proportion to get it
3% -----------1.5m
100% -------- x
crossmultiply now
3*x=1.5*100
3x=150      /:3 divide both sides by 3
x=50m

2. Similar situation
40% ------------1000
100% -----------x
crossmultiply
40*x=100*1000
40x=100000      /:40
x=2500 - its the answer

Answer:

1 / 7 (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 2 / 7(x - 2)^2

= (x - 2) / 7 (x - 2) (x - 2)

= 1 / 7 (x - 2)
