Evaluation of $$\displaystyle \int\frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}dx$$$\bf{My\;Try::}$ Let $\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{ax+b}{(x^3+3x+1)^2}.$ Now Diff. both side w. r to $x\;,$ We Get$\displaystyle \Rightarrow f'(x) = \left\{\frac{(x^3+3x+1)^2\cdot a-2\cdot (x^3+3x+1)\cdot (3x^2+3)\cdot (ax+b)}{(x^3+3x+1)^4}\right\} = \frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}$So $\displaystyle \frac{(x^3+3x+1)\cdot a-6\cdot (x^2+1)\cdot (ax+b)}{(x^3+3x+1)^3} = \frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}.$So $\displaystyle \frac{-5ax^3+6bx^2-3ax+(a-6b)}{(x^3+3x+1)^3} = \frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}$.So We Get $a = -1$ and $b = 0.$ So We Get $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left[f(x)\right] = \frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}$So $\displaystyle \int\frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}dx = \int\frac{d}{dx}\left[f(x)\right]dx = f(x) = -\frac{x}{(x^3+3x+1)^2}+\mathcal{C}$But How we can Solve the above integral Directly.

Means Adding and subtracting in Numerator and taking something common

and Then Using Substitution Method , Thanks.

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \frac{5x^3 + 3x - 1}{ \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^3} \,\mathrm{d}x} &= \int{ \frac{\left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) \left( 5x^3 + 3x - 1 \right) }{ \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^4 }\,\mathrm{d}x} \\ &= \int{ \frac{5x^6 + 18x^4 + 4x^3 + 9x^2 - 1}{ \left[ \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^2 \right] ^2} \,\mathrm{d}x} \end{align*}$

Now because we have a square on the bottom, we MAY be able to make it look like a quotient rule expansion, recall $\displaystyle \begin{align*} \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \, \left( \frac{u}{v} \right) = \frac{\frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x}\,v - u\,\frac{\mathrm{d}v}{\mathrm{d}x}}{v^2} \end{align*}$, so we require $\displaystyle \begin{align*} v = \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^2 \end{align*}$ and thus

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^2 \, \frac{\mathrm{d}u}{\mathrm{d}x} + 2\,\left( 3x^2 + 3 \right) \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) \, u &= 5x^6 + 18x^4 + 4x^3 + 9x^2 - 1 \\ \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \, \left[ \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^2 \, u \right] &= 5x^6 + 18x^4 + 4x^3 + 9x^2 - 1 \\ \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^2 \, u &= \int{ 5x^6 + 18x^4 + 4x^3 + 9x^2 - 1 \,\mathrm{d}x } \\ \left( x^3 + 3x + 1 \right) ^2 \, u &= \frac{5x^7}{7} + \frac{18x^5}{5} + x^4 + 3x^3 - x + C \end{align*}$

Once you have found u, you should be able to write your original integrand as the derivative of a product. Then the answer will be obvious.
 

FAQ: Integral Evluation: $$\displaystyle \int\frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}dx$$

What is an integral evaluation?

An integral evaluation is a mathematical process used to find the value of an integral, which is a mathematical concept that represents the area under a curve in a graph. It is often used to find the total value or quantity of something that is changing continuously over time or space, such as velocity, volume, or population.

What is the purpose of evaluating integrals?

The purpose of evaluating integrals is to solve mathematical problems that involve continuous change. It allows us to find precise and accurate values for quantities that are constantly changing, which can be useful in many real-world applications such as physics, engineering, and economics.

How is the integral evaluation process different from finding derivatives?

The integral evaluation process is the inverse of finding derivatives. While derivatives involve finding the rate of change of a function at a specific point, integrals involve finding the total value of a function over a given interval. In other words, derivatives help us find the slope of a curve, while integrals help us find the area under the curve.

What is the method for evaluating this specific integral: $$\displaystyle \int\frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}dx$$ ?

To evaluate this integral, we can use the substitution method. Let u = x^3+3x+1. Then, du = (3x^2+3)dx, and the integral becomes $$\displaystyle \int\frac{5x^3+3x-1}{(x^3+3x+1)^3}dx = \int\frac{5x^3+3x-1}{u^3}\frac{du}{3x^2+3} = \frac{5}{3}\int\frac{du}{u^3} = -\frac{5}{6u^2} + C = -\frac{5}{6(x^3+3x+1)^2} + C$$ where C is the constant of integration.

What are some common applications of integrals in science?

Integrals are used in many areas of science, including physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering. Some common applications include finding the velocity and acceleration of moving objects, determining the amount of work done by a force, calculating the amount of heat transferred in a chemical reaction, and finding the growth rate of populations. They are also used in the development of mathematical models to describe and predict real-world phenomena.
