Find $\int \frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{2}-5 x+6} d x$
✓
Answer
Here the integrand $\frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{2}-5 x+6}$ is not proper rational function,
so we divide $x^2 + 1$ by $x^2 - 5x + 6$ and find that
$\frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{2}-5 x+6}=1+\frac{5 x-5}{x^{2}-5 x+6}=1+\frac{5 x-5}{(x-2)(x-3)}$
Let $\frac{5 x-5}{(x-2)(x-3)}=\frac{A}{x-2}+\frac{B}{x-3}$
So that $5x - 5 = A (x - 3) + B (x - 2)$
Equating the coefficients of $x$ and constant terms on both sides,
we get $A + B = 5$ and $3A + 2B = 5.$
Solving these equations, we get $A = -5$ and $B = 10$
Thus, $\frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{2}-5 x+6}=1-\frac{5}{x-2}+\frac{10}{x-3}$
Therefore, $\int \frac{x^{2}+1}{x^{2}-5 x+6} d x=\int d x-5 \int \frac{1}{x-2} d x+10 \int \frac{d x}{x-3}$
$= x - 5 \log | x - 2| + 10 \log | x - 3| + C.$
