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

Answer

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

⇒ x2 = A(x + 1)+ B(x - 1) (x + 1) + C(x - 1)

= (A + B) x2 + (2A + C) x + (A - B - C)

Equating similar terms,

A + B = , 2A + C = 0, A - B - C = 0

Solving, we get, $\text{A}=\frac{1}{4},\text{B}=\frac{3}{4},\text{C}=-\frac{1}{2}$

Thus,

$\text{I}=\frac{1}{4}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}-1}+\frac{3}{4}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}+1}-\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{(\text{x}+1)}^2$

$=\frac{1}{4}\log|\text{x}-1|+\frac{3}{4}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{1}{2(\text{x}+1)}+\text{C}$

$\text{I}=\frac{1}{4}\log|\text{x}-1|+\frac{3}{4}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{1}{2(\text{x}+1)}\text{C}$

There are 2 families A and B. There are 4 men, 6 women and 2 children in family A, and 2 men, 2 women and 4 children in family B. The recommended daily amount of calories is 2400 for men, 1900 for women, 1800 for children and 45 grams of proteins for men, 55 grams for women and 33 grams for children. Represent the above information using matrices. Using matrix multiplication, calculate the total requirement of calories and proteins for each of the 2 families. What awareness can you create among people about the balanced diet from this question?

A school wants to award its students for the values of Honesty, Regularity and Hard work with a total cash award of Rs. 6,000. Three times the award money for Hard work added to that given for honesty amounts to Rs. 11,000. The award money given for Honesty and Hard work together is double the one given for Regularity. Represent the above situation algebraically and find the award money for each value, using matrix method. Apart from these values, namely, Honesty, Regularity and Hard work, suggest one more value which the school must include for awards.
