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

Answer

Let $\int\frac{2\text{x}+1}{(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}-2)}=\frac{\text{A}}{(\text{x}+1)}+\frac{\text{B}}{(\text{x}-2)}$$\Rightarrow2\text{x}+1=\text{A}(\text{x}-2)+\text{B}(\text{x}+1)$
Put $\text{x}=2$
$\Rightarrow5=3\text{B}\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{5}{3}$
Put $\text{x}=-1$
$\Rightarrow-1=-3\text{A}\Rightarrow\text{A}=\frac{1}{3}$
so,
$\int\frac{2\text{x}+1}{(\text{x}+1)(\text{x}-2)}\text{ dx}=\frac{1}{3}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}+1}+\frac{5}{3}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}-2}$
$=\frac{1}{3}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{5}{3}\log|\text{x}-2|+\text{C}$
Thus
$\text{I}=\frac{1}{3}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{5}{3}\log|\text{x}-2|+\text{C}$

A man owns a field of area 1000 sq.m. He wants to plant fruit trees in it. He has a sum of Rs. 1400 to purchase young trees. He has the choice of two types of trees. Type A requires 10 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 20 per tree and type B requires 20 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 25 per tree. When fully grown, type A produces an average of 20kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 2.00 per kg and type B produces an average of 40kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 1.50 per kg. How many of each type should be planted to achieve maximum profit when the trees are fully grown? What is the maximum profit?
