ConceptIntegration as an Inverse Process of Differentiation

#### Question

Find :int(x^2+x+1)/((x^2+1)(x+2))dx

#### Solution

Consider the given function

I=int(x^2+x+1)/((x^2+1)(x+2))dx

Let (x^2+x+1)/((x^2+1)(x+2))=A/(x+2)+(Bx+C)/(x^2+1)

= (A(x^2+1)+(Bx+C)(x+2))/((x^2+1)(x+2))

=((A+B)x^2+(2B+C)x+(2C+A))/((x^2+1)(x+2))

Thus equating the coefficients, we have,

A+B=1...(1)

2B+C=1...(2)

2C+A=1...(3)

Solving the above three equations, we have,

A=3/2,B=2/5

:.(x^2+x+1)/((x^2+1)(x+2))=A/(x+2)+(Bx+C)/(x^2+1)

=>(x^2+x+1)/((x^2+1)(x+2))=3/(5(x+2))+(2x+1)/(5(x^2+1)

:.I=int(x^2+x+1)/((x^2+1)(x+2))dx

=int[3/(5(x+2))+(2x+1)/(5(x^2+1))]dx

=3/5intdx/((x+2))dx+1/5int(2x+1)/((x^2+1))dx

=3/5log(x+2)+1/5int(2x)/((x^2+1))dx+1/5intdx/((x^2+1))

=3/2log(x+2)+1/5log(x^2+1)+1/5tan^(-1)x+C
