Evaluate the following integrals: dx (x^2+1)(x^2+4) - Vidyadip

Question

Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\frac{\text{dx}}{(\text{x}^2+1)(\text{x}^2+4)}$

✓

Answer

Let $\frac{1}{(\text{x}^2+1)(\text{x}^2+4)}=\frac{\text{Ax}+\text{B}}{(\text{x}^2+1)}+\frac{\text{Cx}+\text{D}}{\text{x}^2+4}$
$\Rightarrow1=(\text{Ax}+\text{B})(\text{x}^2+4)+(\text{Cx}+\text{D})(\text{x}^2+1)$
$=(\text{A}+\text{C})\text{x}^3+(\text{B}+\text{D})\text{x}^2+(4\text{A}+\text{C})\text{x}+4\text{B}+\text{D}$
Equating similar terms, we get,
A + C = 0, B + D = 0, 4A + C = 0, 4B + D = 1
Solving, we get, $\text{A}=0,\text{B}=\frac{1}{3},\text{C}=0,\text{D}=-\frac{1}{3}$
Thus,
$\text{I}=\int\frac{\frac{1}{3}\text{dx}}{(\text{x}^2+1)}-\int\frac{\frac{1}{3}\text{dx}}{(\text{x}^2+4)}$
$=\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}\text{x}-\frac{1}{6}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)+\text{C}$ $\big[\because\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}^2+\text{a}^2}=\frac{1}{\text{a}}\tan^{-1}\frac{\text{x}}{\text{a}}\big]$
$\therefore\text{I}=\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}\Big(\frac{\text{x}}{2}\Big)+\text{C}$

A small firm manufactures necklaces and bracelets. The total number of necklaces and bracelets that it can handle per day is at most 24. It takes one hour to make a bracelet and half an hour to make a necklace. The maximum number of hours available per day is 16. If the profit on a necklace is Rs. 100 and that on a bracelet is Rs. 300. Formulate on L.P.P. for finding how many of each should be produced daily to maximize the profit?
It is being given that at least one of each must be produced.
