$\int \frac{x^{2}}{(x+1)(x+2)^{2}} d x=$

$\int \frac{x^{2}}{(x+1)(x+2)^{2}} d x=$
  1. $\log |x+1|+\frac{4}{x+2}+c$
  2. $\log |x+1|-\frac{4}{x+2}+\frac{3}{(x+2)^{2}}+c$
  3. $\log |x+1|+\frac{1}{x+2}+c$
  4. $\log |x+1|-\frac{4}{x+2}-\frac{3}{(x+2)^{2}}+c$

Solution

$I=\int \frac{x^{2}}{(x+1)(x+2)^{2}} d x$ $\begin{array}{l} \text { Let } \frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}}{(\mathrm{x}+1)(\mathrm{x}+2)^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{x}+1}+\frac{\mathrm{B}}{\mathrm{x}+2}+\frac{\mathrm{C}}{(\mathrm{x}+2)^{2}} \\ \therefore \mathrm{x}^{2}=\mathrm{A}(\mathrm{x}+2)^{2}+\mathrm{B}(\mathrm{x}+1)(\mathrm{x}+2)+\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{x}+1) \\ \text { When } \mathrm{x}=-2 \text {, we get } 4=-\mathrm{C} \Rightarrow \mathrm{C}=-4 \\ \text { When } \mathrm{x}=-1 \text {, we get } 1=\mathrm{A} \Rightarrow \mathrm{A}=1 \end{array}$ When $x=0, A=1, C=-4$, we get $0=4+2 B-4 \Rightarrow B=0$ $\begin{aligned} \therefore I &=\int\left[\frac{1}{x+1}-\frac{4}{(x+2)^{2}}\right] d x \\ &=\int \frac{d x}{x+1}-4 \int(x+2)^{-2} d x \\ &=\log |x+1|-4 \frac{(x+2)^{-1}}{(-1)}+c \\ &=\log |x+1|+\frac{4}{x+2}+c \end{aligned}$
