Integral of the form

Method:
The quadratic expression ax2 + bx + c can be expressed in the form a(x2 ± A2) by the method of completing the square. The integrals can be evaluated by using the special integrals.
Integrals of the form

Method:

(ii) Find the values of the constants L and M by comparing the co-efficients of like powers of x on both sides.
(iv) The integrals in the form are easily integrable.
Example:

Suggested answer:


Put x+1 = t
dx = dt
(using formula (iii))
