Math Problem Statement

solve the integration

Solve the integral of (x^2 + 1) / (x^2 - 5x + 6) dx.

Solution

The integral of the given function is:

x2+1x25x+6dx=x+10lnx35lnx2+C\int \frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 - 5x + 6} \, dx = x + 10 \ln |x - 3| - 5 \ln |x - 2| + C

where CC is the constant of integration.
