Question
Evaluate the following intregals:
$\int\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{(\text{x}-2)^2(\text{x}+3)}\ \text{dx}$

Answer

Let $\int\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{(\text{x}-2)^2(\text{x}+3)}=\frac{\text{A}}{\text{x}-2}+\frac{\text{B}}{(\text{x}-2)^2}+\frac{\text{C}}{\text{x}+3}$

$\Rightarrow\text{x}^2+1=\text{A}(\text{x}-2)(\text{x}+3)(\text{x}+3)+\text{B}(\text{x}+3)+\text{C}(\text{x}-2)^2$

$=(\text{A}+\text{C})\text{x}^2+(\text{A}+\text{B}-4\text{C})\text{x}+(-6\text{A}+3\text{B}+4\text{C})$

Equating similar terms, we get,

A + C = 1, A + B - 4C = 0, -6A + 3B + 4C = 1

Solving we get, $\text{A}=\frac{3}{5},\text{B}=1,\text{C}=\frac{2}{5}$

Thus,

$\text{I}=\frac{3}{5}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}-2}+\int\frac{\text{dx}}{(\text{x}-2)^2}+\frac{2}{5}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}+3}$

$\text{I}=\frac{3}{5}\log\text{x}-2|-\frac{1}{(\text{x}-2)}+\frac{2}{5}\log|\text{x}+3|+\text{C}$

A factory manufactures two types of screws A and B, each type requiring the use of two machines, an automatic and a hand-operated. It takes 4 minutes on the automatic and 6 minutes on the hand-operated machines to manufacture a packet of screws ‘A’ while it takes 6 minutes on the automatic and 3 minutes on the hand-operated machine to manufacture a packet of screws ‘B’. Each machine is available for at most 4 hours on any day. The manufacturer can sell a packet of screws ‘A’ at a profit of 70 paise and screws ‘B’ at a profit of Rs. 1. Assuming that he can sell all the screws he manufactures, how many packets of each type should the factory owner produce in a day in order to maximize his profit? Formulate the above LPP and solve it graphically and find the maximum profit.
