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

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{\text{x}^3+\text{x}+1}{\text{x}^2-1}\ \text{dx}$
$=\int\Big(\text{x}+\frac{2\text{x}+1}{\text{x}^2-1}\Big)\text{dx}$
Now,
$\frac{2\text{x}+1}{\text{x}^2-1}=\frac{\text{A}}{\text{x}+1}+\frac{\text{B}}{\text{x}-1}$
$\Rightarrow2\text{x}+1=\text{A}(\text{x}-1)+\text{B}(\text{x}+1)$
put x = 1
$\Rightarrow3=2\text{B}\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{3}{2}$
put x = -1
$\Rightarrow-1=-2\text{A}\Rightarrow\text{A}=\frac{1}{2}$
$\therefore\text{I}=\int\text{xdx}+\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}+1}+\frac{3}{2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\text{x}-1}$
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}+\frac{1}{2}\log|\text{x}+1|+\frac{3}{2}\log|\text{x}-1|+\text{C}$

$\int\frac{2\text{x}+1}{\sqrt{3\text{x}+2}}\text{dx}$
A firm manufactures two types of products A and B and sells them at a profit of Rs. 5 per unit of type A and Rs 3 per unit of type B. Each product is processed on two machines $M_1$ and $M_2$.One unit of type $A$ requires one minute of processing time on $M _1$ and two minutes of processing time on $M _2$, whereas one unit of type $B$ requires one minute of processing time on $M_1$ and one minute on $M_2$. Machines $M_1$ and $M_2$ are respectively available for at most 5 hours and 6 hours in a day. Find out how many units of each type of product should the firm produce a day in order to maximize the profit. Solve the problem graphically.
