Question
Evaluate the following intregals:
$\int\frac{3\text{x}-2}{(\text{x}+1)^2(\text{x}+3)}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{3\text{x}-2}{(\text{x}+1)^2(\text{x}+3)}\ \text{dx}$
We express
$\frac{3\text{x}-2}{(\text{x}+1)^2(\text{x}+3)}=\frac{\text{A}}{\text{x}+1}+\frac{\text{B}}{(\text{x}+1)^2}+\frac{\text{C}}{\text{x}+3}$
$\Rightarrow3\text{x}-2=\text{A}(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}+3)+\text{B}(\text{x}+3)+\text{C}(\text{x}+1)^2$
Equating the coefficient of $x^2, x$ and constants, we get
$0 = A + C$ and $3 = 4A + B + 2C$ and $-2 = 3A + 3B + C$
$\text{or }\text{A}=\frac{11}{4}\text{ and }\text{B}=-\frac{5}{2}\text{ and }\text{C}=-\frac{11}{4}$
$\therefore\text{I}=\int\bigg(\frac{\frac{11}{4}}{\text{x}+1}+\frac{-\frac{5}{2}}{(\text{x}+1)^2}+\frac{-\frac{11}{4}}{\text{x}+3}\bigg)\ \text{dx}$
$=\frac{11}{4}\int\frac{1}{\text{x}+1}\text{ dx }-\frac{5}{2}\int\frac{1}{(\text{x}+1)^2}\text{ dx }-\frac{11}{4}\int\frac{1}{\text{x}+3}\text{ dx}$
$=\frac{11}{4}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{5}{2(\text{x}+1)}-\frac{11}{4}\log|\text{x}+3|+\text{C}$
Hence,
$\int\frac{3\text{x}-2}{(\text{x}+1)^2(\text{x}+3)}\ \text{dx}=\frac{11}{4}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{5}{2(\text{x}+1)}-\frac{11}{4}\log|\text{x}+3|+\text{C}$

Three machines $E_1, E_2, E_3$ in a certain factory produce $50\%, 25\%$ and $25\%$, respectively, of the total daily output of electric bulbs. It is known that $4\%$ of the tubes produced one each of the machines $E_1$ and $E_2$ are defective, and that $5\%$ of those produced on $E_3$ are defective. If one tube is picked up at random from a day's production, then calculate the probability that it is defective.
