integral of (3x-2)/(x^2+3x-10)

\int \frac{3 x - 2}{x ^{2} + 3 x - 10} d x

\frac{4}{7} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + \frac{17}{7} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣ + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3 x - 2}{x ^{2} + 3 x - 10} d x

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{3 x - 2}{x ^{2} + 3 x - 10} : \frac{4}{7 ( x - 2 )} + \frac{17}{7 ( x + 5 )}

= \int \frac{4}{7 ( x - 2 )} + \frac{17}{7 ( x + 5 )} 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{4}{7 ( x - 2 )} d x + \int \frac{17}{7 ( x + 5 )} d x

\int \frac{4}{7 ( x - 2 )} d x = \frac{4}{7} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣

\int \frac{17}{7 ( x + 5 )} d x = \frac{17}{7} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣

= \frac{4}{7} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + \frac{17}{7} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{4}{7} ln ∣ x - 2 ∣ + \frac{17}{7} ln ∣ x + 5 ∣ + C
