X^2+12x-28
(x-2)(x+14)

Solve for x
x-2=0
x=2

x+14=0
x=-14

$\frac{x-1}{x^2+3x+2}\\\frac{x-1}{(x+1)(x+2)}\\\frac{x-1}{(x+1)(x+2)}=\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B}{x+1}\\x-1=A(x+1)+B(x+2)\\\\\text{ Let } x=-1 \text{ then } -2=A(0)+B(-1+2) \text{ which means } B=-2\\\\\text{ Instead of choose } x \text{ to be -1, let's now set it equal to -2 to find } A\\\\-3=A(-1)+B(-2+2)\\-3=-A\\A=3\\\\ \text{ So your integral becomes } \\\int \frac{3}{x+2} dx+\int \frac{-2}{x+1} dx\\3 \ln|x+2|-2\ln|x+1|+C\\\\or\\-2\ln|x+1|+3\ln|x+2|+C$

For fun question

ZanzabumX [31]

Consider the function $f(x)=x^{1/3}$ , which has derivative $f'(x)=\dfrac13x^{-2/3}$ .

The linear approximation of $f(x)$ for some value $x$ within a neighborhood of $x=c$ is given by

$f(x)\approx f'(c)(x-c)+f(c)$

Let $c=64$ . Then $(63.97)^{1/3}$ can be estimated to be

$f(63.97)\approxf'(64)(63.97-64)+f(64)$
$\sqrt[3]{63.97}\approx4-\dfrac{0.03}{48}=3.999375$

Since $f'(x)>0$ for $x>0$ , it follows that $f(x)$ must be strictly increasing over that part of its domain, which means the linear approximation lies strictly above the function $f(x)$ . This means the estimated value is an overestimation.

Indeed, the actual value is closer to the number 3.999374902...

Suppose f(x) = x². Find the graph of<br> f(x+3).<br> ???

alexdok [17]

Answer: x^2+3

Step-by-step explanation:

If regular f(x) is equal to x^2, then if you just add 3 to the original, you add 3 to the same x^2. The three becomes a shift upwards on the graph. You put your vertex point up 3 on the vertical line then make your parabola
