Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{9}{14} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+\frac{5}{14 \sqrt{3}} \log \left(\frac{x-\sqrt{3}}{x+\sqrt{3}}\right)+\mathrm{c}\), (where c is constant of integration)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Let } \mathrm{I}=\int \frac{2 x^2-1}{\left(x^2+4\right)\left(x^2-3\right)} \mathrm{d} x \\ & \frac{2 x^2-1}{\left(x^2+4\right)\left(x^2-3\right)}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{x^2+4}+\frac{\mathrm{B}}{x^2-3} \\ \therefore \quad & 2 x^2-1=\mathrm{A}\left(x^2-3\right)+\mathrm{B}\left(x^2+4\right) \\ \therefore \quad & 2 x^2-1=(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}) x^2-(3 \mathrm{~A}-4 \mathrm{~B})\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & \Rightarrow A+B=2 \text { and } 3 A-4 B=1 \\ & \Rightarrow A=\frac{9}{7} \text { and } B=\frac{5}{7}\end{aligned}\)
\(\therefore \quad \mathrm{I}=\frac{9}{7} \int \frac{1}{x^2+(2)^2} \mathrm{~d} x+\frac{5}{7} \int \frac{1}{x^2-(\sqrt{3})^2} \mathrm{~d} x\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =\frac{9}{7} \times \frac{1}{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3}} \log \left(\frac{x-\sqrt{3}}{x+\sqrt{3}}\right)+\mathrm{c} \\ & =\frac{9}{14} \tan ^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)+\frac{5}{14 \sqrt{3}} \log \left(\frac{x-\sqrt{3}}{x+\sqrt{3}}\right)+\mathrm{c}\end{aligned}\)
