To calculate : Definite integral
Answer to Problem 17E
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Formula used :
Partial fraction decomposition:
Calculation:
First, find the indefinite integral:
Apply partial fraction decomposition:
Write the right-hand side as a single fraction:
The denominators are equal, so we require the equality of the numerators:
Expand the right-hand side:
Collect up the like terms:
The coefficients near the like terms should be equal, so the following system is obtained:
By (1) and (2), we get:
Plug the value of ‘C’ in equation (1), we get:
Now, compute its boundary:
