Step 1
Form from rational function to partial fraction:
px+q(xa)(xb)=Axa+Bxb
The given integral is:
x+1x212x+32dx
Using the technique of Partial fractions, we need to find the value of A+B2
Step 2
The given integral can be rewritten as:
x+1x212x+32dx=1+xx28x4x+32dx
=x+1x(x8)4(x8)dx
=x+1(x8)(x4)dx
Using the technique of Partial fractions, we get
x+1(x8)(x4)=Ax8+Bx4
x+1(x8)(x4)=A(x4)+B(x8)(x8)(x4)
x+1=A(x4)+B(x8)
Step 3
For x=4,
4+1=A(44)+B(48)
5=A(0)+B(4)
5=4B
54=B
For x=8,
8+1=A(84)+B(88)
9=A(4)+B(0)
9=4A
94=A
The value of A is 94 and the value of B is 54.
Step 4
Now, we need to find the value of A+B2
A+B2=94+(5)42
=
