1. Perform the substitution to find $\mathrm{d}x$ in terms of $\mathrm{d}u$ and find the new limits of integration.
u=x+3⟹u2=x+3⟹x=u2−3
Differentiating with respect to u:
dudx=2u⟹dx=2udu
When x=1, u=1+3=2.
When x=6, u=6+3=3.
2. Substitute all $x$ terms and limits into the integral to express it entirely in terms of $u$.
∫16xx+3x−2dx=∫23(u2−3)u(u2−3)−2(2u)du
=∫23u2−3u2−5×2du
=∫23u2−32u2−10du
3. Simplify the rational algebraic fraction by division to prepare for integration.
u2−32u2−10=u2−32(u2−3)−4=2−u2−34
So the integral becomes: ∫23(2−u2−34)du
4. Integrate using the standard integral formula for $\frac{1}{x^2 - a^2}$.
Using the standard result ∫x2−a21dx=2a1lnx+ax−a with a=3:
=[2u−4(231lnu+3u−3)]23
=[2u−32ln(u+3u−3)]23
5. Substitute the limits to evaluate the definite integral.
=(6−32ln(3+33−3))−(4−32ln(2+32−3))
=2+32[ln(2+32−3)−ln(3+33−3)]
6. Combine the logarithmic terms and simplify the argument using rationalisation to reach the required form.
Combining the logarithms:
=2+32ln(2+32−3×3−33+3)
Rationalising the fractions within the argument:
2+32−3=4−3(2−3)2=7−43
3−33+3=9−3(3+3)2=612+63=2+3
Multiplying them:
(7−43)(2+3)=14+73−83−12=2−3
We need to express 2−3 in the form c+dc−d. From the original upper limit evaluation, we can observe that:
3+33−3=9−3(3−3)2=612−63=2−3
Hence, substituting this back into the log term:
=2+32ln(3+33−3)
(This matches the target form with constants a=2,b=2,c=3,d=3.)
答案2+32ln(3+33−3)
