integral of (3x+11)/(x^2-x-6)

\int \frac{3 x + 11}{x ^{2} - x - 6} d x

- ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ x - 3 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3 x + 11}{x ^{2} - x - 6} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{3 x + 11}{x ^{2} - x - 6} : - \frac{1}{x + 2} + \frac{4}{x - 3}

= \int - \frac{1}{x + 2} + \frac{4}{x - 3} d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - \int \frac{1}{x + 2} d x + \int \frac{4}{x - 3} d x

\int \frac{1}{x + 2} d x = ln ∣ x + 2 ∣

\int \frac{4}{x - 3} d x = 4 ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

= - ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ x - 3 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= - ln ∣ x + 2 ∣ + 4 ln ∣ x - 3 ∣ + C
