Step-by-step solution

7 steps
  1. Separate the integral into two parts.

    ∫x3+5−5x6x2+x−1dx=∫x3dx+∫5−5x6x2+x−1dx\int x^3 + \frac{5-5x}{6x^2+x-1} dx = \int x^3 dx + \int \frac{5-5x}{6x^2+x-1} dx
  2. Integrate the first term.

    ∫x3dx=x3+13+1+C1=x44+C1\int x^3 dx = \frac{x^{3+1}}{3+1} + C_1 = \frac{x^4}{4} + C_1
  3. Factor the denominator of the second term.

    The denominator is 6x2+x−16x^2+x-1. We look for two numbers that multiply to 6×(−1)=−66 \times (-1) = -6 and add to 1. These numbers are 3 and −2-2.

    6x2+x−1=6x2+3x−2x−1=3x(2x+1)−1(2x+1)=(3x−1)(2x+1)6x^2+x-1 = 6x^2+3x-2x-1 = 3x(2x+1) - 1(2x+1) = (3x-1)(2x+1)
  4. Set up the partial fraction decomposition for the rational function.

    5−5x(3x−1)(2x+1)=A3x−1+B2x+1\frac{5-5x}{(3x-1)(2x+1)} = \frac{A}{3x-1} + \frac{B}{2x+1}

    Multiply both sides by (3x−1)(2x+1)(3x-1)(2x+1):

    5−5x=A(2x+1)+B(3x−1)5-5x = A(2x+1) + B(3x-1)
  5. Solve for the constants A and B.

    To find A, set 3x−1=0  ⟹  x=133x-1=0 \implies x=\frac{1}{3}:

    5−5(13)=A(2(13)+1)+B(0)5-5\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) = A\left(2\left(\frac{1}{3}\right)+1\right) + B(0) 5−53=A(23+1)5-\frac{5}{3} = A\left(\frac{2}{3}+1\right) 15−53=A(53)\frac{15-5}{3} = A\left(\frac{5}{3}\right) 103=53A  ⟹  A=2\frac{10}{3} = \frac{5}{3}A \implies A = 2

    To find B, set 2x+1=0  ⟹  x=−122x+1=0 \implies x=-\frac{1}{2}:

    5−5(−12)=A(0)+B(3(−12)−1)5-5\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = A(0) + B\left(3\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)-1\right) 5+52=B(−32−1)5+\frac{5}{2} = B\left(-\frac{3}{2}-1\right) 10+52=B(−52)\frac{10+5}{2} = B\left(-\frac{5}{2}\right) 152=−52B  ⟹  B=−3\frac{15}{2} = -\frac{5}{2}B \implies B = -3

    So, the partial fraction decomposition is:

    5−5x6x2+x−1=23x−1−32x+1\frac{5-5x}{6x^2+x-1} = \frac{2}{3x-1} - \frac{3}{2x+1}
  6. Integrate the partial fractions.

    ∫(23x−1−32x+1)dx=∫23x−1dx−∫32x+1dx\int \left(\frac{2}{3x-1} - \frac{3}{2x+1}\right) dx = \int \frac{2}{3x-1} dx - \int \frac{3}{2x+1} dx

    For ∫23x−1dx\int \frac{2}{3x-1} dx: Let u=3x−1u=3x-1, du=3dxdu=3dx.

    ∫2u13du=23∫1udu=23ln⁡∣u∣=23ln⁡∣3x−1∣\int \frac{2}{u} \frac{1}{3} du = \frac{2}{3} \int \frac{1}{u} du = \frac{2}{3} \ln|u| = \frac{2}{3} \ln|3x-1|

    For ∫32x+1dx\int \frac{3}{2x+1} dx: Let v=2x+1v=2x+1, dv=2dxdv=2dx.

    ∫3v12dv=32∫1vdv=32ln⁡∣v∣=32ln⁡∣2x+1∣\int \frac{3}{v} \frac{1}{2} dv = \frac{3}{2} \int \frac{1}{v} dv = \frac{3}{2} \ln|v| = \frac{3}{2} \ln|2x+1|

    Combining these, we get:

    ∫5−5x6x2+x−1dx=23ln⁡∣3x−1∣−32ln⁡∣2x+1∣+C2\int \frac{5-5x}{6x^2+x-1} dx = \frac{2}{3} \ln|3x-1| - \frac{3}{2} \ln|2x+1| + C_2
  7. Combine the results from Step 2 and Step 6.

    ∫x3+5−5x6x2+x−1dx=x44+23ln⁡∣3x−1∣−32ln⁡∣2x+1∣+C\int x^3 + \frac{5-5x}{6x^2+x-1} dx = \frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{2}{3} \ln|3x-1| - \frac{3}{2} \ln|2x+1| + C

    The final answer is x44+23ln⁡∣3x−1∣−32ln⁡∣2x+1∣+C\boxed{\frac{x^4}{4} + \frac{2}{3} \ln|3x-1| - \frac{3}{2} \ln|2x+1| + C}.
