Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following integral

Evaluate the definite integral \( \int_{1}^{5} \frac{7x}{(x+1)^2} \, dx \).

Solution

from sympy import symbols, integrate

Define the variables

x = symbols('x')

Define the integral

integral_expression = 7 * x / (x + 1)**2

Evaluate the definite integral

result = integrate(integral_expression, (x, 1, 5)) result-7log(2) - 7/3 + 7log(6)-7log(2) - 7/3 + 7log(6)successThe value of the definite integral

157x(x+1)2dx\int_{1}^{5} \frac{7x}{(x+1)^2} \, dx

is:

7ln(6)7ln(2)737\ln(6) - 7\ln(2) - \frac{7}{3}

If you'd like, I can simplify this further or explain the steps. Let me know!
