![[image loading]](http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/6830/123duj.jpg) How to solve this? I'm a first year non-math university student. The only approach that seems we can apply here is either substitution or integration by parts: uv - /v du where / is the integration sign. I've tried substitution and it would go in circles, and by parts I always create a ln in the integration part and it seems to complicated to continue from there. This question should be a regular and not challenging question, but I can't solve it. Help plz!  | ||

Or if you're that lazy pull out the common x so you have 1/x^2(x+1) and then your partial fraction is A/x + B/x^2 + C/x+1 = 1 solve for the three then re sub them in. | ||

after you split it into two the two fractions will also equal: x^-3 + x^-2 then it'll be easier to integrate | ||

But in this case, is the numerator a polynomial? Ok so basically you split it into int((1/x^3) + (1/x^2)) 1/x^3 = x^ -3 1/x^2 = x^ -2 integrating x^ -3 = (x^-2) / -2 integrating x^ -2 = (x^ -1) / -1 = -(x^ -1) EDIT: Shit this is so much quicker and easier to read on paper  | ||
