Here we provide detailed solutions to three examples of integrating the following rational fractions:
, , .

Example 1

Calculate integral:
.

Here, under the integral sign there is a rational function, since the integrand is a fraction of polynomials. The degree of the denominator polynomial ( 3 ) is less than the degree of the numerator polynomial ( 4 ). Therefore, first you need to select the whole part of the fraction.

1. Let's take the integer part of the fraction. Divide x 4 on x 3 - 6 x 2 + 11 x - 6:


From here
.

2. Let's factorize the denominator. To do this, you need to solve the cubic equation:
.
6
1, 2, 3, 6, -1, -2, -3, -6 .
Substitute x = 1 :
.

1 . Divide by x - 1 :

From here
.
We solve a quadratic equation.
.
Equation roots: , .
Then
.

3. Let's decompose the fraction into simple ones.

.

So we found:
.
Let's integrate.

Example 2

Calculate integral:
.

Here in the numerator of the fraction is a polynomial of degree zero ( 1 = x0). The denominator is a third degree polynomial. Insofar as 0 < 3 , then the fraction is correct. Let's break it down into simple fractions.

1. Let's factorize the denominator. To do this, you need to solve the equation of the third degree:
.
Assume that it has at least one integer root. Then it is the divisor of the number 3 (a member without x ). That is, the whole root can be one of the numbers:
1, 3, -1, -3 .
Substitute x = 1 :
.

So we have found one root x = 1 . Divide x 3 + 2 x - 3 on x- 1 :

So,
.

We solve the quadratic equation:
x 2 + x + 3 = 0.
Find the discriminant: D = 1 2 - 4 3 = -11. Because D< 0 , then the equation has no real roots. Thus, we have obtained the decomposition of the denominator into factors:
.

2.
.
(x - 1)(x 2 + x + 3):
(2.1) .
Substitute x = 1 . Then x- 1 = 0 ,
.

Substitute in (2.1) x= 0 :
1 = 3 A - C;
.

Equate in (2.1) coefficients at x 2 :
;
0=A+B;
.


.

3. Let's integrate.
(2.2) .
To calculate the second integral, we select the derivative of the denominator in the numerator and reduce the denominator to the sum of squares.

;
;
.

Calculate I 2 .


.
Since the equation x 2 + x + 3 = 0 has no real roots, then x 2 + x + 3 > 0. Therefore, the module sign can be omitted.

We deliver to (2.2) :
.

Example 3

Calculate integral:
.

Here, under the sign of the integral is a fraction of polynomials. Therefore, the integrand is a rational function. The degree of the polynomial in the numerator is 3 . The degree of the polynomial of the denominator of a fraction is 4 . Insofar as 3 < 4 , then the fraction is correct. Therefore, it can be decomposed into simple fractions. But for this you need to decompose the denominator into factors.

1. Let's factorize the denominator. To do this, you need to solve the equation of the fourth degree:
.
Assume that it has at least one integer root. Then it is the divisor of the number 2 (a member without x ). That is, the whole root can be one of the numbers:
1, 2, -1, -2 .
Substitute x = -1 :
.

So we have found one root x = -1 . Divide by x - (-1) = x + 1:


So,
.

Now we need to solve the equation of the third degree:
.
If we assume that this equation has an integer root, then it is a divisor of the number 2 (a member without x ). That is, the whole root can be one of the numbers:
1, 2, -1, -2 .
Substitute x = -1 :
.

So, we have found another root x = -1 . It would be possible, as in the previous case, to divide the polynomial by , but we will group the terms:
.

Since the equation x 2 + 2 = 0 has no real roots, then we get the factorization of the denominator:
.

2. Let's decompose the fraction into simple ones. We are looking for a decomposition in the form:
.
We get rid of the denominator of the fraction, multiply by (x + 1) 2 (x 2 + 2):
(3.1) .
Substitute x = -1 . Then x + 1 = 0 ,
.

Differentiate (3.1) :

;

.
Substitute x = -1 and take into account that x + 1 = 0 :
;
; .

Substitute in (3.1) x= 0 :
0 = 2A + 2B + D;
.

Equate in (3.1) coefficients at x 3 :
;
1=B+C;
.

So, we have found the decomposition into simple fractions:
.

3. Let's integrate.

The problem of finding the indefinite integral of a fractionally rational function is reduced to integrating simple fractions. Therefore, we recommend that you first familiarize yourself with the section on the theory of decomposition of fractions into simple ones.

Example.

Find the indefinite integral.

Decision.

Since the degree of the numerator of the integrand is equal to the degree of the denominator, first we select the integer part by dividing the polynomial by the polynomial by the column:

So, .

The decomposition of the obtained proper rational fraction into simple fractions has the form . Hence,

The resulting integral is an integral of the simplest fraction of the third type. Looking ahead a little, we note that it can be taken by bringing it under the differential sign.

As , then . So

Hence,

Now let's move on to describing the methods for integrating the simplest fractions of each of the four types.

Integration of the simplest fractions of the first type

The method of direct integration is ideal for solving this problem:

Example.

Integration of the simplest fractions of the third type

First, we present the indefinite integral as a sum:

We take the first integral by the method of subsuming under the sign of the differential:

So,

We transform the denominator of the resulting integral:

Hence,

The formula for integrating the simplest fractions of the third type takes the form:

Example.

Find the indefinite integral .

Decision.

We use the resulting formula:

If we didn't have this formula, what would we do:

Integration of the simplest fractions of the fourth type

The first step is to sum it up under the differential sign:

The second step is to find an integral of the form . Integrals of this type are found using recurrent formulas. (See section integrating using recursive formulas). For our case, the following recursive formula is suitable:

Example.

Find the indefinite integral

Decision.

For this type of integrand, we use the substitution method. Let's introduce a new variable (see the section on integrating irrational functions):



After substitution we have:

We came to finding the integral of a fraction of the fourth type. In our case, we have the coefficients M=0, p=0, q=1, N=1 and n=3. We apply the recursive formula:

After the reverse substitution, we get the result:

Integration of trigonometric functions

4. Integrals where are calculated by changing the variable: or For example,
5. Integrals of the form are reduced to integrals of rational fractions using a universal trigonometric substitution then (because =[after dividing the numerator and denominator by ]= ; For example,
It should be noted that the use of a universal substitution often leads to cumbersome calculations.
§5. Integration of the simplest irrationalities
Consider methods for integrating the simplest types of irrationality. one. Functions of this type are integrated in the same way as the simplest rational fractions of the 3rd type: in the denominator, a full square is extracted from the square trinomial and a new variable is introduced. Example. 2. (under the sign of the integral - the rational function of the arguments). Integrals of this kind are calculated using the substitution . In particular, in integrals of the form we denote . If the integrand contains roots of different degrees: , then denote , where n is the least common multiple of the numbers m,k. Example 1

45 Definite Integral

Definite integral is an additive monotone normalized functional defined on a set of pairs, the first component of which is an integrable function or functional, and the second is an area in the set of this function (functional).

Definition

Let it be defined on . Let's break it into parts with several arbitrary points. Then we say that the segment has been partitioned Next, we choose an arbitrary point , ,

The definite integral of a function on a segment is the limit of integral sums as the partition rank tends to zero, if it exists regardless of the partition and choice of points, that is

If this limit exists, then the function is said to be Riemann integrable on.

Notation

· - lower limit.

· - upper limit.

· - integrand function.

· - length of a partial segment.

· is the integral sum of the function on the corresponding partition .

· - maximum length of a partial segment.

Properties

If a function is Riemann-integrable on , then it is bounded on it.

geometric sense

The definite integral as the area of ​​a figure

The definite integral is numerically equal to the area of ​​the figure bounded by the x-axis, straight lines and and the function graph.

Newton-Leibniz theorem

[edit]

(redirected from "Newton-Leibniz formula")

Newton - Leibniz formula or fundamental theorem of analysis gives the relation between two operations: taking a definite integral and calculating an antiderivative.

Proof

Let an integrable function be given on the segment. Let's start by noting that

that is, it does not matter which letter ( or ) is under the sign in a definite integral over the interval .

Set an arbitrary value and define a new function . It is defined for all values ​​of , because we know that if there is an integral of on , then there is also an integral of on , where . Recall that we consider by definition

(1)

notice, that

Let us show that it is continuous on the segment . Indeed, let ; then

and if , then

Thus, is continuous on regardless of whether it has discontinuities or not; it is important that it is integrable on .

The figure shows a graph. The area of ​​the variable figure is . Its increment is equal to the area of ​​the figure , which, due to the boundedness of , obviously tends to zero at regardless of whether it is a point of continuity or discontinuity, for example, a point .

Now let the function not only be integrable on , but be continuous at the point . Let us prove that then has a derivative at this point equal to

(2)

Indeed, for the given point

(1) , (3)

We put , and since the constant is relative to ,TO . Further, due to the continuity at the point, for any one can specify such that for .

which proves that the left side of this inequality is o(1) for .

Passing to the limit in (3) at shows the existence of the derivative of at the point and the validity of equality (2). Here we are talking about the right and left derivatives, respectively.

If a function is continuous on , then, based on what was proved above, the corresponding function

(4)

has a derivative equal to . Therefore, the function is antiderivative for on .

This conclusion is sometimes called the Variable Upper Limit Integral Theorem or Barrow's Theorem.

We have proved that an arbitrary continuous function on an interval has an antiderivative on this interval, defined by equality (4). This proves the existence of an antiderivative for any function continuous on an interval.

Let now be an arbitrary antiderivative of a function on . We know that , where is some constant. Assuming in this equality and taking into account that , we obtain .

Thus, . But

Improper integral

[edit]

· The limit a or b (or both limits) is infinite;

2. If or , then the designation is preserved, and is called divergent to , or simply divergent.

If the function suffers a discontinuity at an internal point of the segment, then the improper integral of the second kind is determined by the formula:

[edit] Geometric meaning of improper integrals of the second kind

The integral is called conditionally convergent if converges and diverges.

48 12. Improper integrals.

When considering definite integrals, we assumed that the region of integration is bounded (more specifically, it is the segment [ a ,b ]); for the existence of a definite integral, the boundedness of the integrand on [ a ,b ]. We will call definite integrals for which both these conditions are satisfied (boundedness of both the integration domain and the integrand) own; integrals for which these requirements are violated (i.e., either the integrand, or the domain of integration, or both, is unbounded) non-own.

12.1. Improper integrals over an unbounded interval

(improper integrals of the first kind).

12.1.1. Definition of an improper integral over an infinite interval. Let the function f (x ) is defined on the half-line and is integrable over any interval [ from, implying in each of these cases the existence and finiteness of the corresponding limits. Now the solutions of the examples look more simple: .

12.1.3. Comparison criteria for non-negative functions. In this section, we will assume that all integrands are non-negative over the entire domain of definition. Until now, we have determined the convergence of the integral by calculating it: if there is a finite limit of the antiderivative with the corresponding aspiration ( or ), then the integral converges, otherwise it diverges. When solving practical problems, however, it is important first of all to establish the very fact of convergence, and only then calculate the integral (besides, the antiderivative is often not expressed in terms of elementary functions). We formulate and prove a number of theorems that allow us to establish the convergence and divergence of improper integrals of nonnegative functions without calculating them.
12.1.3.1. Comparison sign. Let the functions f (x ) and g (x ) integr

As we will see below, not every elementary function has an integral expressed in elementary functions. Therefore, it is very important to single out such classes of functions whose integrals are expressed in terms of elementary functions. The simplest of these classes is the class of rational functions.

Any rational function can be represented as a rational fraction, that is, as a ratio of two polynomials:

Without limiting the generality of the argument, we will assume that the polynomials do not have common roots.

If the numerator is below the degree of the denominator, then the fraction is called proper, otherwise the fraction is called improper.

If the fraction is improper, then by dividing the numerator by the denominator (according to the rule of dividing polynomials), you can represent this fraction as the sum of a polynomial and some regular fraction:

here is a polynomial, and is a proper fraction.

Example t. Let an improper rational fraction be given

Dividing the numerator by the denominator (according to the rule of dividing polynomials), we get

Since integrating polynomials is not difficult, the main difficulty in integrating rational fractions is integrating proper rational fractions.

Definition. Proper rational fractions of the form

are called the simplest fractions of types I, II, III and IV.

Integration of the simplest fractions of types I, II and III is not very difficult, so we will integrate them without any additional explanations:

More complex calculations require the integration of the simplest fractions of type IV. Let us be given an integral of this type:

Let's make transformations:

The first integral is taken by substituting

The second integral - we denote it by and write it in the form

by assumption, the roots of the denominator are complex, and therefore, Next, we proceed as follows:

Let's transform the integral:

Integrating by parts, we have

Substituting this expression into equality (1), we obtain

The right side contains an integral of the same type, but the exponent of the denominator of the integrand is one less; thus, we expressed in terms of . Continuing along the same path, we reach the well-known integral.

The fraction is called correct if the highest power of the numerator is less than the highest power of the denominator. The integral of a proper rational fraction has the form:

$$ \int \frac(mx+n)(ax^2+bx+c)dx $$

The formula for integrating rational fractions depends on the roots of the polynomial in the denominator. If the polynomial $ ax^2+bx+c $ has:

  1. Only complex roots, then it is necessary to select a full square from it: $$ \int \frac(mx+n)(ax^2+bx+c) dx = \int \frac(mx+n)(x^2 \pm a ^2) $$
  2. Different real roots $ x_1 $ and $ x_2 $, then you need to expand the integral and find the indefinite coefficients $ A $ and $ B $: $$ \int \frac(mx+n)(ax^2+bx+c) dx = \int \frac(A)(x-x_1) dx + \int \frac(B)(x-x_2) dx $$
  3. One multiple root $ x_1 $, then we expand the integral and find the indefinite coefficients $ A $ and $ B $ for this formula: $$ \int \frac(mx+n)(ax^2+bx+c) dx = \int \frac(A)((x-x_1)^2)dx + \int \frac(B)(x-x_1) dx $$

If the fraction is wrong, that is, the highest degree in the numerator is greater than or equal to the highest degree of the denominator, then first it must be reduced to correct mind by dividing the polynomial from the numerator by the polynomial from the denominator. In this case, the formula for integrating a rational fraction is:

$$ \int \frac(P(x))(ax^2+bx+c)dx = \int Q(x) dx + \int \frac(mx+n)(ax^2+bx+c)dx $$

Solution examples

Example 1
Find the integral of a rational fraction: $$ \int \frac(dx)(x^2-10x+16) $$
Decision

The fraction is regular and the polynomial has only complex roots. Therefore, we select a full square:

$$ \int \frac(dx)(x^2-10x+16) = \int \frac(dx)(x^2-2\cdot 5 x+ 5^2 - 9) = $$

We collapse the full square and sum under the differential sign $ x-5 $:

$$ = \int \frac(dx)((x-5)^2 - 9) = \int \frac(d(x-5))((x-5)^2-9) = $$

Using the table of integrals, we get:

$$ = \frac(1)(2 \cdot 3) \ln \bigg | \frac(x-5 - 3)(x-5 + 3) \bigg | + C = \frac(1)(6) \ln \bigg |\frac(x-8)(x-2) \bigg | +C$$

If you cannot solve your problem, then send it to us. We will provide a detailed solution. You will be able to familiarize yourself with the progress of the calculation and gather information. This will help you get a credit from the teacher in a timely manner!

Answer
$$ \int \frac(dx)(x^2-10x+16) = \frac(1)(6) \ln \bigg |\frac(x-8)(x-2) \bigg | +C$$
Example 2
Integrate rational fractions: $$ \int \frac(x+2)(x^2+5x-6) dx $$
Decision

Solve the quadratic equation: $$ x^2+5x-6 = 0 $$

$$ x_(12) = \frac(-5\pm \sqrt(25-4\cdot 1 \cdot (-6)))(2) = \frac(-5 \pm 7)(2) $$

Let's write down the roots:

$$ x_1 = \frac(-5-7)(2) = -6; x_2 = \frac(-5+7)(2) = 1 $$

Taking into account the obtained roots, we transform the integral:

$$ \int \frac(x+2)(x^2+5x-6) dx = \int \frac(x+2)((x-1)(x+6)) dx = $$

We perform the expansion of a rational fraction:

$$ \frac(x+2)((x-1)(x+6)) = \frac(A)(x-1) + \frac(B)(x+6) = \frac(A(x -6)+B(x-1))((x-1)(x+6)) $$

Equate the numerators and find the coefficients $ A $ and $ B $:

$$ A(x+6)+B(x-1)=x+2 $$

$$ Ax + 6A + Bx - B = x + 2 $$

$$ \begin(cases) A ​​+ B = 1 \\ 6A - B = 2 \end(cases) $$

$$ \begin(cases) A ​​= \frac(3)(7) \\ B = \frac(4)(7) \end(cases) $$

We substitute the found coefficients into the integral and solve it:

$$ \int \frac(x+2)((x-1)(x+6))dx = \int \frac(\frac(3)(7))(x-1) dx + \int \frac (\frac(4)(7))(x+6) dx = $$

$$ = \frac(3)(7) \int \frac(dx)(x-1) + \frac(4)(7) \int \frac(dx)(x+6) = \frac(3) (7) \ln |x-1| + \frac(4)(7) \ln |x+6| +C$$

Answer
$$ \int \frac(x+2)(x^2+5x-6) dx = \frac(3)(7) \ln |x-1| + \frac(4)(7) \ln |x+6| +C$$

The material presented in this topic is based on the information presented in the topic "Rational fractions. Decomposition of rational fractions into elementary (simple) fractions". I strongly advise you to at least skim through this topic before proceeding to reading this material. In addition, we will need a table of indefinite integrals.

Let me remind you of a couple of terms. They were discussed in the relevant topic, so here I will limit myself to a brief formulation.

The ratio of two polynomials $\frac(P_n(x))(Q_m(x))$ is called a rational function or a rational fraction. The rational fraction is called correct if $n< m$, т.е. если степень многочлена, стоящего в числителе, меньше степени многочлена, стоящего в знаменателе. В противном случае (если $n ≥ m$) дробь называется wrong.

Elementary (simplest) rational fractions are rational fractions of four types:

  1. $\frac(A)(x-a)$;
  2. $\frac(A)((x-a)^n)$ ($n=2,3,4, \ldots$);
  3. $\frac(Mx+N)(x^2+px+q)$ ($p^2-4q< 0$);
  4. $\frac(Mx+N)((x^2+px+q)^n)$ ($p^2-4q< 0$; $n=2,3,4,\ldots$).

Note (desirable for a better understanding of the text): show\hide

Why is the $p^2-4q condition necessary?< 0$ в дробях третьего и четвертого типов? Рассмотрим квадратное уравнение $x^2+px+q=0$. Дискриминант этого уравнения $D=p^2-4q$. По сути, условие $p^2-4q < 0$ означает, что $D < 0$. Если $D < 0$, то уравнение $x^2+px+q=0$ не имеет действительных корней. Т.е. выражение $x^2+px+q$ неразложимо на множители. Именно эта неразложимость нас и интересует.

For example, for the expression $x^2+5x+10$ we get: $p^2-4q=5^2-4\cdot 10=-15$. Since $p^2-4q=-15< 0$, то выражение $x^2+5x+10$ нельзя разложить на множители.

By the way, for this check it is not necessary that the coefficient in front of $x^2$ equals 1. For example, for $5x^2+7x-3=0$ we get: $D=7^2-4\cdot 5 \cdot (-3)=109$. Since $D > 0$, the expression $5x^2+7x-3$ is factorizable.

Examples of rational fractions (regular and improper), as well as examples of the expansion of a rational fraction into elementary ones, can be found. Here we are only interested in questions of their integration. Let's start with the integration of elementary fractions. So, each of the four types of the above elementary fractions is easy to integrate using the formulas below. Let me remind you that when integrating fractions of type (2) and (4) $n=2,3,4,\ldots$ is assumed. Formulas (3) and (4) require the condition $p^2-4q< 0$.

\begin(equation) \int \frac(A)(x-a) dx=A\cdot \ln |x-a|+C \end(equation) \begin(equation) \int\frac(A)((x-a)^n )dx=-\frac(A)((n-1)(x-a)^(n-1))+C \end(equation) \begin(equation) \int \frac(Mx+N)(x^2 +px+q) dx= \frac(M)(2)\cdot \ln (x^2+px+q)+\frac(2N-Mp)(\sqrt(4q-p^2))\arctg\ frac(2x+p)(\sqrt(4q-p^2))+C \end(equation)

For $\int\frac(Mx+N)((x^2+px+q)^n)dx$ the replacement $t=x+\frac(p)(2)$ is made, after which the resulting integral is split into two. The first one will be calculated by inserting it under the differential sign, and the second one will look like $I_n=\int\frac(dt)((t^2+a^2)^n)$. This integral is taken using the recurrence relation

\begin(equation) I_(n+1)=\frac(1)(2na^2)\frac(t)((t^2+a^2)^n)+\frac(2n-1)(2na ^2)I_n, \; n\in N \end(equation)

The calculation of such an integral is analyzed in example No. 7 (see the third part).

Scheme for calculating integrals from rational functions (rational fractions):

  1. If the integrand is elementary, then apply formulas (1)-(4).
  2. If the integrand is not elementary, then represent it as a sum of elementary fractions, and then integrate using formulas (1)-(4).

The above algorithm for integrating rational fractions has an undeniable advantage - it is universal. Those. Using this algorithm, one can integrate any rational fraction. That is why almost all replacements of variables in the indefinite integral (Euler, Chebyshev substitutions, universal trigonometric substitution) are done in such a way that after this replacement we get a rational fraction under the interval. And apply the algorithm to it. We will analyze the direct application of this algorithm using examples, after making a small note.

$$ \int\frac(7dx)(x+9)=7\ln|x+9|+C. $$

In principle, this integral is easy to obtain without mechanical application of the formula. If we take the constant $7$ out of the integral sign and take into account that $dx=d(x+9)$, then we get:

$$ \int\frac(7dx)(x+9)=7\cdot \int\frac(dx)(x+9)=7\cdot \int\frac(d(x+9))(x+9 )=|u=x+9|=7\cdot\int\frac(du)(u)=7\ln|u|+C=7\ln|x+9|+C. $$

For detailed information I recommend to look at the topic. It explains in detail how such integrals are solved. By the way, the formula is proved by the same transformations that were applied in this paragraph when solving "manually".

2) Again, there are two ways: to apply a ready-made formula or to do without it. If you apply the formula, then you should take into account that the coefficient in front of $x$ (the number 4) will have to be removed. To do this, we simply take out the four of them in brackets:

$$ \int\frac(11dx)((4x+19)^8)=\int\frac(11dx)(\left(4\left(x+\frac(19)(4)\right)\right)^ 8)= \int\frac(11dx)(4^8\left(x+\frac(19)(4)\right)^8)=\int\frac(\frac(11)(4^8)dx) (\left(x+\frac(19)(4)\right)^8). $$

Now it's time to apply the formula:

$$ \int\frac(\frac(11)(4^8)dx)(\left(x+\frac(19)(4)\right)^8)=-\frac(\frac(11)(4 ^8))((8-1)\left(x+\frac(19)(4) \right)^(8-1))+C= -\frac(\frac(11)(4^8)) (7\left(x+\frac(19)(4) \right)^7)+C=-\frac(11)(7\cdot 4^8 \left(x+\frac(19)(4) \right )^7)+C. $$

You can do without using the formula. And even without putting the constant $4$ out of the brackets. If we take into account that $dx=\frac(1)(4)d(4x+19)$, then we get:

$$ \int\frac(11dx)((4x+19)^8)=11\int\frac(dx)((4x+19)^8)=\frac(11)(4)\int\frac( d(4x+19))((4x+19)^8)=|u=4x+19|=\\ =\frac(11)(4)\int\frac(du)(u^8)=\ frac(11)(4)\int u^(-8)\;du=\frac(11)(4)\cdot\frac(u^(-8+1))(-8+1)+C= \\ =\frac(11)(4)\cdot\frac(u^(-7))(-7)+C=-\frac(11)(28)\cdot\frac(1)(u^7 )+C=-\frac(11)(28(4x+19)^7)+C. $$

Detailed explanations on finding such integrals are given in the topic "Integration by substitution (introduction under the differential sign)" .

3) We need to integrate the fraction $\frac(4x+7)(x^2+10x+34)$. This fraction has the structure $\frac(Mx+N)(x^2+px+q)$, where $M=4$, $N=7$, $p=10$, $q=34$. However, to make sure that this is indeed an elementary fraction of the third type, you need to check the condition $p^2-4q< 0$. Так как $p^2-4q=10^2-4\cdot 34=-16 < 0$, то мы действительно имеем дело с интегрированием элементарной дроби третьего типа. Как и в предыдущих пунктах есть два пути для нахождения $\int\frac{4x+7}{x^2+10x+34}dx$. Первый путь - банально использовать формулу . Подставив в неё $M=4$, $N=7$, $p=10$, $q=34$ получим:

$$ \int\frac(4x+7)(x^2+10x+34)dx = \frac(4)(2)\cdot \ln (x^2+10x+34)+\frac(2\cdot 7-4\cdot 10)(\sqrt(4\cdot 34-10^2)) \arctg\frac(2x+10)(\sqrt(4\cdot 34-10^2))+C=\\ = 2\cdot \ln (x^2+10x+34)+\frac(-26)(\sqrt(36)) \arctg\frac(2x+10)(\sqrt(36))+C =2\cdot \ln (x^2+10x+34)+\frac(-26)(6) \arctg\frac(2x+10)(6)+C=\\ =2\cdot \ln (x^2+10x +34)-\frac(13)(3) \arctg\frac(x+5)(3)+C. $$

Let's solve the same example, but without using the ready-made formula. Let's try to isolate the derivative of the denominator in the numerator. What does this mean? We know that $(x^2+10x+34)"=2x+10$. It is the expression $2x+10$ that we have to isolate in the numerator. So far, the numerator contains only $4x+7$, but this is not for long. Apply the following transformation to the numerator:

$$ 4x+7=2\cdot 2x+7=2\cdot (2x+10-10)+7=2\cdot(2x+10)-2\cdot 10+7=2\cdot(2x+10) -thirteen. $$

Now the required expression $2x+10$ has appeared in the numerator. And our integral can be rewritten as follows:

$$ \int\frac(4x+7)(x^2+10x+34) dx= \int\frac(2\cdot(2x+10)-13)(x^2+10x+34)dx. $$

Let's break the integrand into two. Well, and, accordingly, the integral itself is also "split":

$$ \int\frac(2\cdot(2x+10)-13)(x^2+10x+34)dx=\int \left(\frac(2\cdot(2x+10))(x^2 +10x+34)-\frac(13)(x^2+10x+34) \right)\; dx=\\ =\int \frac(2\cdot(2x+10))(x^2+10x+34)dx-\int\frac(13dx)(x^2+10x+34)=2\cdot \int \frac((2x+10)dx)(x^2+10x+34)-13\cdot\int\frac(dx)(x^2+10x+34). $$

Let's talk about the first integral first, i.e. about $\int \frac((2x+10)dx)(x^2+10x+34)$. Since $d(x^2+10x+34)=(x^2+10x+34)"dx=(2x+10)dx$, then the denominator differential is located in the numerator of the integrand. In short, instead of the expression $( 2x+10)dx$ we write $d(x^2+10x+34)$.

Now let's say a few words about the second integral. Let's single out the full square in the denominator: $x^2+10x+34=(x+5)^2+9$. In addition, we take into account $dx=d(x+5)$. Now the sum of integrals obtained by us earlier can be rewritten in a slightly different form:

$$ 2\cdot\int \frac((2x+10)dx)(x^2+10x+34)-13\cdot\int\frac(dx)(x^2+10x+34) =2\cdot \int \frac(d(x^2+10x+34))(x^2+10x+34)-13\cdot\int\frac(d(x+5))((x+5)^2+ nine). $$

If we make the change $u=x^2+10x+34$ in the first integral, then it will take the form $\int\frac(du)(u)$ and is taken by simply applying the second formula from . As for the second integral, the replacement $u=x+5$ is feasible for it, after which it takes the form $\int\frac(du)(u^2+9)$. This is the purest water, the eleventh formula from the table of indefinite integrals. So, returning to the sum of integrals, we will have:

$$ 2\cdot\int \frac(d(x^2+10x+34))(x^2+10x+34)-13\cdot\int\frac(d(x+5))((x+ 5)^2+9) =2\cdot\ln(x^2+10x+34)-\frac(13)(3)\arctg\frac(x+5)(3)+C. $$

We got the same answer as when applying the formula , which, in fact, is not surprising. In general, the formula is proved by the same methods that we used to find this integral. I believe that an attentive reader may have one question here, therefore I will formulate it:

Question #1

If we apply the second formula from the table of indefinite integrals to the integral $\int \frac(d(x^2+10x+34))(x^2+10x+34)$, then we get the following:

$$ \int \frac(d(x^2+10x+34))(x^2+10x+34)=|u=x^2+10x+34|=\int\frac(du)(u) =\ln|u|+C=\ln|x^2+10x+34|+C. $$

Why was the module missing from the solution?

Answer to question #1

The question is completely legitimate. The modulus was absent only because the expression $x^2+10x+34$ for any $x\in R$ is greater than zero. This is quite easy to show in several ways. For example, since $x^2+10x+34=(x+5)^2+9$ and $(x+5)^2 ≥ 0$, then $(x+5)^2+9 > 0$ . It is possible to judge in a different way, without involving the selection of a full square. Since $10^2-4\cdot 34=-16< 0$, то $x^2+10x+34 >0$ for any $x\in R$ (if this logical chain is surprising, I advise you to look at the graphical method for solving square inequalities). In any case, since $x^2+10x+34 > 0$, then $|x^2+10x+34|=x^2+10x+34$, i.e. you can use normal brackets instead of a module.

All points of example No. 1 are solved, it remains only to write down the answer.

Answer:

  1. $\int\frac(7dx)(x+9)=7\ln|x+9|+C$;
  2. $\int\frac(11dx)((4x+19)^8)=-\frac(11)(28(4x+19)^7)+C$;
  3. $\int\frac(4x+7)(x^2+10x+34)dx=2\cdot\ln(x^2+10x+34)-\frac(13)(3)\arctg\frac(x +5)(3)+C$.

Example #2

Find the integral $\int\frac(7x+12)(3x^2-5x-2)dx$.

At first glance, the integrand $\frac(7x+12)(3x^2-5x-2)$ is very similar to an elementary fraction of the third type, i.e. to $\frac(Mx+N)(x^2+px+q)$. It seems that the only difference is the coefficient $3$ in front of $x^2$, but it won't take long to remove the coefficient (out of brackets). However, this similarity is apparent. For the fraction $\frac(Mx+N)(x^2+px+q)$ the condition $p^2-4q< 0$, которое гарантирует, что знаменатель $x^2+px+q$ нельзя разложить на множители. Проверим, как обстоит дело с разложением на множители у знаменателя нашей дроби, т.е. у многочлена $3x^2-5x-2$.

Our coefficient in front of $x^2$ is not equal to one, so check the condition $p^2-4q< 0$ напрямую мы не можем. Однако тут нужно вспомнить, откуда взялось выражение $p^2-4q$. Это всего лишь дискриминант квадратного уравнения $x^2+px+q=0$. Если дискриминант меньше нуля, то выражение $x^2+px+q$ на множители не разложишь. Вычислим дискриминант многочлена $3x^2-5x-2$, расположенного в знаменателе нашей дроби: $D=(-5)^2-4\cdot 3\cdot(-2)=49$. Итак, $D >0$, so the expression $3x^2-5x-2$ can be factorized. And this means that the fraction $\frac(7x+12)(3x^2-5x-2)$ is not an elementary fraction of the third type, and apply to the integral $\int\frac(7x+12)(3x^2- 5x-2)dx$ formula is not allowed.

Well, if the given rational fraction is not elementary, then it must be represented as a sum of elementary fractions, and then integrated. In short, trail take advantage of . How to decompose a rational fraction into elementary ones is written in detail. Let's start by factoring the denominator:

$$ 3x^2-5x-2=0;\\ \begin(aligned) & D=(-5)^2-4\cdot 3\cdot(-2)=49;\\ & x_1=\frac( -(-5)-\sqrt(49))(2\cdot 3)=\frac(5-7)(6)=\frac(-2)(6)=-\frac(1)(3); \\ & x_2=\frac(-(-5)+\sqrt(49))(2\cdot 3)=\frac(5+7)(6)=\frac(12)(6)=2.\ \ \end(aligned)\\ 3x^2-5x-2=3\cdot\left(x-\left(-\frac(1)(3)\right)\right)\cdot (x-2)= 3\cdot\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2). $$

We represent the subinternal fraction in the following form:

$$ \frac(7x+12)(3x^2-5x-2)=\frac(7x+12)(3\cdot\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2) )=\frac(\frac(7)(3)x+4)(\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2)). $$

Now let's expand the fraction $\frac(\frac(7)(3)x+4)(\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2))$ into elementary ones:

$$ \frac(\frac(7)(3)x+4)(\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2)) =\frac(A)(x+\frac( 1)(3))+\frac(B)(x-2)=\frac(A(x-2)+B\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right))(\left(x+ \frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2));\\ \frac(7)(3)x+4=A(x-2)+B\left(x+\frac(1)( 3)\right). $$

To find the coefficients $A$ and $B$ there are two standard ways: the method of indeterminate coefficients and the method of substitution of partial values. Let's apply the partial value substitution method by substituting $x=2$ and then $x=-\frac(1)(3)$:

$$ \frac(7)(3)x+4=A(x-2)+B\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right).\\ x=2;\; \frac(7)(3)\cdot 2+4=A(2-2)+B\left(2+\frac(1)(3)\right); \; \frac(26)(3)=\frac(7)(3)B;\; B=\frac(26)(7).\\ x=-\frac(1)(3);\; \frac(7)(3)\cdot \left(-\frac(1)(3) \right)+4=A\left(-\frac(1)(3)-2\right)+B\left (-\frac(1)(3)+\frac(1)(3)\right); \; \frac(29)(9)=-\frac(7)(3)A;\; A=-\frac(29\cdot 3)(9\cdot 7)=-\frac(29)(21).\\ $$

Since the coefficients have been found, it remains only to write down the finished expansion:

$$ \frac(\frac(7)(3)x+4)(\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2))=\frac(-\frac(29)( 21))(x+\frac(1)(3))+\frac(\frac(26)(7))(x-2). $$

In principle, you can leave this entry, but I like a more accurate version:

$$ \frac(\frac(7)(3)x+4)(\left(x+\frac(1)(3)\right)(x-2))=-\frac(29)(21)\ cdot\frac(1)(x+\frac(1)(3))+\frac(26)(7)\cdot\frac(1)(x-2). $$

Returning to the original integral, we substitute the resulting expansion into it. Then we divide the integral into two, and apply the formula to each. I prefer to immediately take out the constants outside the integral sign:

$$ \int\frac(7x+12)(3x^2-5x-2)dx =\int\left(-\frac(29)(21)\cdot\frac(1)(x+\frac(1) (3))+\frac(26)(7)\cdot\frac(1)(x-2)\right)dx=\\ =\int\left(-\frac(29)(21)\cdot\ frac(1)(x+\frac(1)(3))\right)dx+\int\left(\frac(26)(7)\cdot\frac(1)(x-2)\right)dx =- \frac(29)(21)\cdot\int\frac(dx)(x+\frac(1)(3))+\frac(26)(7)\cdot\int\frac(dx)(x-2 )dx=\\ =-\frac(29)(21)\cdot\ln\left|x+\frac(1)(3)\right|+\frac(26)(7)\cdot\ln|x- 2|+C. $$

Answer: $\int\frac(7x+12)(3x^2-5x-2)dx=-\frac(29)(21)\cdot\ln\left|x+\frac(1)(3)\right| +\frac(26)(7)\cdot\ln|x-2|+C$.

Example #3

Find the integral $\int\frac(x^2-38x+157)((x-1)(x+4)(x-9))dx$.

We need to integrate the fraction $\frac(x^2-38x+157)((x-1)(x+4)(x-9))$. The numerator is a polynomial of the second degree, and the denominator is a polynomial of the third degree. Since the degree of the polynomial in the numerator is less than the degree of the polynomial in the denominator, i.e. $2< 3$, то подынтегральная дробь является правильной. Разложение этой дроби на элементарные (простейшие) было получено в примере №3 на странице, посвящённой разложению рациональных дробей на элементарные. Полученное разложение таково:

$$ \frac(x^2-38x+157)((x-1)(x+4)(x-9))=-\frac(3)(x-1)+\frac(5)(x +4)-\frac(1)(x-9). $$

We just have to break the given integral into three, and apply the formula to each. I prefer to immediately take out the constants outside the integral sign:

$$ \int\frac(x^2-38x+157)((x-1)(x+4)(x-9))dx=\int\left(-\frac(3)(x-1) +\frac(5)(x+4)-\frac(1)(x-9) \right)dx=\\=-3\cdot\int\frac(dx)(x-1)+ 5\cdot \int\frac(dx)(x+4)-\int\frac(dx)(x-9)=-3\ln|x-1|+5\ln|x+4|-\ln|x- 9|+C. $$

Answer: $\int\frac(x^2-38x+157)((x-1)(x+4)(x-9))dx=-3\ln|x-1|+5\ln|x+ 4|-\ln|x-9|+C$.
