Evaluate the following integrals:

Given


Expressing the integral




Consider


Let and split,




Consider


Let




We know that



Now consider



By partial fraction decomposition,



1 = A (x + 2) + B (x + 5)


1 = Ax + 2A + Bx + 5B


1 = (A + B) x + (2A + 5B)


A + B = 0 and 2A + 5B = 1


Solving the two equations,


2A + 2B = 0


2A + 5B = 1


-3B = -1


B = 1/3 and A = -1/3




Consider


Let u = x + 2 dx = du



We know that



Similarly


Let u = x + 5 dx = du



We know that



Then,




Then,





Then,



We know that
