If $f\left(\frac{x-4}{x+2}\right)=2 x+1,(x \in R=\{1,-2\})$, then $\int f$ ( $x$ ) $d x$ is equal to (where $C$ is a constant of integration)
  1. $12 \log _e|1-x|-3 x+c$
  2. $-12 \log _e|1-x|-3 x+c$
  3. $-12 \log _e|1-x|+3 x+c$
  4. $12 \log _e|1-x|+3 x+c$

Solution

Suppose, $\frac{x-4}{x+2}=y \Rightarrow x-4=y(x+2)$ $ \Rightarrow x(1-y)=2 y+4 \Rightarrow x=\frac{2 y+4}{1-y} $ So, $f(y)=2\left(\frac{2 y+4}{1-y}\right)+1$ Now, $f(x)=2\left(\frac{2 x+4}{1-x}\right)+1=\frac{3 x+9}{1-x}$ $ \begin{aligned} &=\frac{3(x+3)}{1-x}=\frac{3(x-1+4)}{1-x}=-3+\frac{12}{1-x} \\ &\therefore \int f(x) d x=-12 \log _e|1-x|-3 x+c \end{aligned} $
