Question
![**Evaluate**
\[ \int \frac{2x + 1}{(4x + 3)(x + 1)} \, dx \]
---
In this integral, the function to be integrated is \( \frac{2x + 1}{(4x + 3)(x + 1)} \). The denominator is a product of two linear factors, \( 4x + 3 \) and \( x + 1 \). This is a rational function, which often requires partial fraction decomposition for integration.
**Partial Fraction Decomposition:**
The expression can be decomposed as:
\[ \frac{2x + 1}{(4x + 3)(x + 1)} = \frac{A}{4x + 3} + \frac{B}{x + 1} \]
To find constants \( A \) and \( B \), multiply through by the common denominator and solve the resulting system of equations.
**Integration:**
Once the partial fractions are determined, integrate each term separately:
\[ \int \frac{A}{4x + 3} \, dx + \int \frac{B}{x + 1} \, dx \]
**Result:**
The antiderivative can be found by integrating each term, typically resulting in a combination of logarithmic expressions.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/3aff424b-0e96-4e90-b1d6-dc40303839e0/e9606321-09ec-400a-9bfd-4e833116cb5f/o62cxof_thumbnail.jpeg)
