Division yields

\dfrac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x} = x-\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x^3+2x}

Now for partial fractions: you're looking for constants <em>a</em>, <em>b</em>, and <em>c</em> such that

\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = \dfrac ax + \dfrac{bx+c}{x^2+2}

\implies 2x^2 - 7 = a(x^2+2) + (bx+c)x = (a+b)x^2+cx + 2a

which gives <em>a</em> + <em>b</em> = 2, <em>c</em> = 0, and 2<em>a</em> = -7, so that <em>a</em> = -7/2 and <em>b</em> = 11/2. Then

\dfrac{2x^2-7}{x(x^2+2)} = -\dfrac7{2x} + \dfrac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}

Now, in the integral we get

\displaystyle\int\frac{x^4+7}{x^3+2x}\,\mathrm dx = \int\left(x+\frac7{2x} - \frac{11x}{2(x^2+2)}\right)\,\mathrm dx

The first two terms are trivial to integrate. For the third, substitute <em>y</em> = <em>x</em> ² + 2 and d<em>y</em> = 2<em>x</em> d<em>x</em> to get

\displaystyle \int x\,\mathrm dx + \frac72\int\frac{\mathrm dx}x - \frac{11}4 \int\frac{\mathrm dy}y \\\\ =\displaystyle \frac{x^2}2+\frac72\ln|x|-\frac{11}4\ln|y| + C \\\\ =\displaystyle \boxed{\frac{x^2}2 + \frac72\ln|x| - \frac{11}4 \ln(x^2+2) + C}

Is one side of a rectangular fish tank best represented by a point, line, plane, or ray?
Inessa05 [86]
<span>One side of a rectangular fish tank can be best represented by a plane because it is two dimensional.Whereas,point,line or a ray are all one dimensional and hence they cannot represent a rectangle as it has two dimensions.</span>

Identify the reference angle
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Below in bold.

Step-by-step explanation:

300 degrees - reference angle is |360 - 300 |= 60 degrees

225 = 225 - 180 = 45 degrees

480 = 480 - 360 = 120 so it is 180 - 120 = 60 degrees.

-210 = |-210 + 180| = 30 degrees.
