I=1/61{8ln|3x-5|-4ln|x^2+4|+7/2 tan^-1(x/2)}+c

Explanation:

Here,

I=int(x+1)/((x^2+4)(3x-5))dx

To obtain Partial Fractions:

color(blue)((x+1)/((x^2+4)(3x-5))=A/(3x-5)+(Bx+C)/(x^2+4)

=>x+1=A(x^2+4)+B(3x^2-5x)+C(3x-5)

=>x+1=x^2(A+3B)+x(-5B+3C)+(4A-5C)

comparing coefficients of x^2 ,x and constant term :

A+3B=0 =>A=-3Bto(1) ,

-5B+3C=1=>3C=1+5B=>C=(1+5B)/3to(2) ,

4A-5C=1to(3)

Putting value of A and C into (3)

4(-3B)-5((1+5B)/3)=1=>-36B-5-25B=3

:. color(blue)(B=-8/61

From (1) ,we get , A=-3(-8/61)=>color(blue)(A=24/61

From (2) , we get C=(1+5(-8/61))/3=(61-40)/(3*61)=>color(blue)(C=7/61

So,

I=1/61int{24/(3x-5)+(-8x+7)/(x^2+4)}dx

=1/61{8int3/(3x-5)dx-4int(2x)/(x^2+4)dx+7int1/(x^2+2^2)dx}

=1/61{8ln|3x-5|-4ln|x^2+4|+7*1/2 tan^-1(x/2)}+c

Hence,

I=1/61{8ln|3x-5|-4ln|x^2+4|+7/2 tan^-1(x/2)}+c
