Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following integral:

∫ 2 x 3 − 3 x 2 + 4 x − 5 x 2   d x ∫ x 2

2x 3 −3x 2 +4x−5 ​ dx

Hint: Try simplifying the integrand before integrating.​

Solution

To solve the integral

(2x33x2+4x5x2)dx,\int \left(\frac{2x^3 - 3x^2 + 4x - 5}{x^2}\right) \, dx,

let's first simplify the integrand by dividing each term in the numerator by x2x^2:

2x3x23x2x2+4xx25x2=2x3+4x5x2.\frac{2x^3}{x^2} - \frac{3x^2}{x^2} + \frac{4x}{x^2} - \frac{5}{x^2} = 2x - 3 + \frac{4}{x} - \frac{5}{x^2}.

So the integral becomes:

(2x3+4x5x2)dx.\int \left(2x - 3 + \frac{4}{x} - \frac{5}{x^2}\right) \, dx.

Now, we can integrate each term separately:

  1. 2xdx=x2\int 2x \, dx = x^2,
  2. 3dx=3x\int -3 \, dx = -3x,
  3. 4xdx=4lnx\int \frac{4}{x} \, dx = 4 \ln |x|,
  4. 5x2dx=5x\int -\frac{5}{x^2} \, dx = \frac{5}{x}.

So the integral is:

x23x+4lnx+5x+C,x^2 - 3x + 4 \ln |x| + \frac{5}{x} + C,

where CC is the constant of integration.

Final Answer:

(2x33x2+4x5x2)dx=x23x+4lnx+5x+C.\int \left(\frac{2x^3 - 3x^2 + 4x - 5}{x^2}\right) \, dx = x^2 - 3x + 4 \ln |x| + \frac{5}{x} + C.
