Evaluate the indefinite integral ∫ (2x¹²+5x⁹)/((x⁵+x³+1)³) dx. It is equal to:
- (x⁵)/(2(x⁵+x³+1)²)+C
- -(x¹⁰)/(2(x⁵+x³+1)²)+C
- -(x⁵)/((x⁵+x³+1)²)+C
- (x¹⁰)/(2(x⁵+x³+1)²)+C
Correct answer: (x¹⁰)/(2(x⁵+x³+1)²)+C
Solution
Dividing numerator and denominator by x^15 and letting t=(x^5+x^3+1)/x^5 gives dt=-(2x^-3+5x^-6)dx, so the integral = ∫ -dt/t^3 = 1/(2t^2) = x^10/(2(x^5+x^3+1)^2) + C.
