let's integrate this rational function using partial fraction decomposition.

The integral is ∫53+17x−7(x2+4)(x−1) dx\int \frac{5^3+17x-7}{(x^2+4)(x-1)} \, dx.

  1. Simplify the numerator.

    53+17x−7=125+17x−7=17x+1185^3+17x-7 = 125+17x-7 = 17x+118

    So the integral becomes:

    ∫17x+118(x2+4)(x−1) dx\int \frac{17x+118}{(x^2+4)(x-1)} \, dx
  2. Set up the partial fraction decomposition.

    Since (x2+4)(x^2+4) is an irreducible quadratic factor and (x−1)(x-1) is a linear factor, the decomposition takes the form:

    17x+118(x2+4)(x−1)=Ax+Bx2+4+Cx−1\frac{17x+118}{(x^2+4)(x-1)} = \frac{Ax+B}{x^2+4} + \frac{C}{x-1}
  3. Solve for the constants A, B, and C.

    Multiply both sides by (x2+4)(x−1)(x^2+4)(x-1) to clear the denominators:

    17x+118=(Ax+B)(x−1)+C(x2+4)17x+118 = (Ax+B)(x-1) + C(x^2+4)

    Expand the right side:

    17x+118=Ax2−Ax+Bx−B+Cx2+4C17x+118 = Ax^2 - Ax + Bx - B + Cx^2 + 4C

    Group terms by powers of xx:

    17x+118=(A+C)x2+(−A+B)x+(−B+4C)17x+118 = (A+C)x^2 + (-A+B)x + (-B+4C)

    Equate the coefficients of corresponding powers of xx on both sides:
    For x2x^2: A+C=0(∗1)A+C = 0 \quad (*1)
    For xx: −A+B=17(∗2)-A+B = 17 \quad (*2)
    For constant: −B+4C=118(∗3)-B+4C = 118 \quad (*3)

    From (∗1)(*1), A=−CA = -C. Substitute this into (∗2)(*2):
    −(−C)+B=17  ⟹  C+B=17  ⟹  B=17−C-(-C)+B = 17 \implies C+B = 17 \implies B = 17-C.
    Substitute B=17−CB = 17-C into (∗3)(*3):
    −(17−C)+4C=118-(17-C)+4C = 118
    −17+C+4C=118-17+C+4C = 118
    5C=118+175C = 118+17
    5C=1355C = 135
    C=1355=27C = \frac{135}{5} = 27

    Now find A and B:
    A=−C=−27A = -C = -27.
    B=17−C=17−27=−10B = 17-C = 17-27 = -10.

    So the partial fraction decomposition is:

    −27x−10x2+4+27x−1\frac{-27x-10}{x^2+4} + \frac{27}{x-1}
  4. Integrate each term.

    ∫(−27x−10x2+4+27x−1)dx=∫−27xx2+4 dx−∫10x2+4 dx+∫27x−1 dx\int \left( \frac{-27x-10}{x^2+4} + \frac{27}{x-1} \right) dx = \int \frac{-27x}{x^2+4} \, dx - \int \frac{10}{x^2+4} \, dx + \int \frac{27}{x-1} \, dx

    For the first integral, ∫−27xx2+4 dx\int \frac{-27x}{x^2+4} \, dx:
    Let u=x2+4u = x^2+4, then du=2x dxdu = 2x \, dx, so x dx=12dux \, dx = \frac{1}{2} du.

    ∫−27u(12du)=−272∫1udu=−272ln⁡∣u∣=−272ln⁡(x2+4)\int \frac{-27}{u} \left(\frac{1}{2} du\right) = -\frac{27}{2} \int \frac{1}{u} du = -\frac{27}{2} \ln|u| = -\frac{27}{2} \ln(x^2+4)

    (Since x2+4x^2+4 is always positive, we can remove the absolute value.)

    For the second integral, ∫10x2+4 dx\int \frac{10}{x^2+4} \, dx:
    This is of the form ∫1x2+a2 dx=1aarctan⁡(xa)\int \frac{1}{x^2+a^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{a} \arctan\left(\frac{x}{a}\right). Here a2=4a^2=4, so a=2a=2.

    10∫1x2+22 dx=10⋅12arctan⁡(x2)=5arctan⁡(x2)10 \int \frac{1}{x^2+2^2} \, dx = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \arctan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) = 5 \arctan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right)

    For the third integral, ∫27x−1 dx\int \frac{27}{x-1} \, dx:

    27∫1x−1 dx=27ln⁡∣x−1∣27 \int \frac{1}{x-1} \, dx = 27 \ln|x-1|
  5. Combine the results.

    −272ln⁡(x2+4)−5arctan⁡(x2)+27ln⁡∣x−1∣+C-\frac{27}{2} \ln(x^2+4) - 5 \arctan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + 27 \ln|x-1| + C

    The final answer is −272ln⁡(x2+4)−5arctan⁡(x2)+27ln⁡∣x−1∣+C\boxed{-\frac{27}{2} \ln(x^2+4) - 5 \arctan\left(\frac{x}{2}\right) + 27 \ln|x-1| + C}.
