Question
Evaluate the following intregals:
$\int\frac{\text{x}^2}{(\text{x}^2+4)(\text{x}^2+9)}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{\text{x}^2}{(\text{x}^2+4)(\text{x}^2+9)}\ \text{dx}$
We express
$\frac{\text{x}^2}{(\text{x}^2+4)(\text{x}^2+9)}=\frac{\text{Ax}+\text{B}}{\text{x}^2+4}+\frac{\text{Cx}+\text{D}}{\text{x}^2+9}$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2=(\text{Ax}+\text{B})(\text{x}^2+9)+(\text{Cx}+\text{D})(\text{x}^2+4)$
Equating the coefficient of $x^3, x^2, x $ and constants, we get
$0 = A + C$ and $1 = B + D$ and $0 = 9A + 4C$
and $0 = 9B + 4D $ or $A = 0$ and or $A = 0$ and
$\text{B}=-\frac{4}{5}\text{ and }\text{C}=0,\text{ D }=\frac{9}{5}$
$\therefore\text{I}=\int\bigg(\frac{-\frac{4}{5}}{\text{x}^2+4}+\frac{\frac{9}{5}}{\text{x}^2+9}\bigg)\text{dx}$
$=-\frac{4}{5}\int\frac{1}{\text{x}^2+4}\text{ dx}+\frac{9}{5}\int\frac{1}{\text{x}^2+9}\ \text{dx}$
$=-\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\frac{9}{5}\times\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{3}+\text{C}$
$=-\frac{2}{5}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\frac{3}{5}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{3}+\text{C}$
Hence, $\int\frac{\text{x}^2}{(\text{x}^2+4)(\text{x}^2+9)}\ \text{dx}=-\frac{2}{5}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{2}+\frac{3}{5}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{3}+\text{C}$

A dealer in a rural area wishes to purchase some sewing machines. He has only to invest and has space for at most 20 items. An electronic machine costs him 3,600 and a manually operated machine costs 2,400. He can sell an electronic machine at a profit of 220 and a manually operated machine at a profit of 180. Assuming that he can sell all the machines that he buys, how should he invest his money in order to maximise his profit? Make it as a LPP and solve it graphically.
