Integral check. Is partial fractions the only way?












2












$begingroup$


I'm getting a different answer from wolfram and I have no idea where. I have to integrate:



$$int_0^1 frac{xdx}{(2x+1)^3}$$



Is partial fractions the only way?



So evaluating the fraction first:



$$frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} = frac{A}{2x+1} + frac{B}{(2x+1)^2} + frac{C}{(2x+1)^3}$$



$$x = A(2x+1)^2 + B(2x+1) + C$$



$$x = A(4x^2 + 4x + 1) + 2Bx + B + C$$



$$x = 4Ax^2 + 4Ax + A + 2Bx + B + C$$



$$x = x^2(4A) + x(4A+2B) + A + B + C$$



$4A = 0$ and $4A+2B = 1$ and $A + B + C = 0$ so $A = 0$ and $B=frac{1}{2}$ and $C = frac{-1}{2}$



Is the partial fraction part right?



So then I get:



$$int_0^1 frac{xdx}{(2x+1)^3} = int_0^1 frac{dx}{(2(2x+1)^2)} - int_0^1 frac{dx}{2(2x+1)^3}$$



for both, using $u = 2x+1$ and $frac{du}{dx} = 2$ and $du = 2dx$ and $frac{du}{2} = dx$,
$$frac{1}{4} int frac{du}{u^2} - frac{1}{4} int frac{du}{u^3}$$



$$ = [frac{1}{4} - u^{-1} - frac{1}{4} cdot frac{1}{-2} u^{-2} ]_1^3$$



I'm going the route of changing the limits to the new u and since $u = 2x+1$, when $x = 0, u = 1$ and when $x = 1, u = 3$. Is this the right path?



finally I get



$$[frac{-1}{4}u^{-1} + frac{1}{8}u^{-2} ]_1^3$$



I plug in numbers but I get a different answer than wolfram...

A much much easier way to solve it is by using integration by parts.



Hint: Take $u=x$, $dv = frac{dx}{(2x+1)^3}$.

1) Observe: $$x= frac 12 times left ( (2x + 1) -1right).$$



2) Use this to obtain $$frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} = frac{1}{2} times frac{1}{(2x+1)^2} - frac 12 times frac{1}{(2x+1)^3}.$$



3) Integrate to get



$$ int frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} dx = -frac{1}{4} (2x+1)^{-1} + frac{1}{8} (2x+1)^{-2}.$$

    $begingroup$

    $$I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{x mathrm dx}{(2x+1)^3}implies 2I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{2x+1-1}{(2x+1)^3}mathrm dx$$ $$2I=int_{0}^{1}biggl[dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^2}-dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^3}biggr] mathrm dx $$



    Make the substitution $begin{bmatrix}t \ mathrm dt end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}2x+1 \ 2mathrm dxend{bmatrix}$ and use the general power rule for integrals:



    $$I=dfrac{1}{4}biggl[-dfrac{1}{t}+dfrac{1}{2t^2}biggr]_{1}^{3}=dfrac{1}{18}$$

      1) Observe: $$x= frac 12 times left ( (2x + 1) -1right).$$



      2) Use this to obtain $$frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} = frac{1}{2} times frac{1}{(2x+1)^2} - frac 12 times frac{1}{(2x+1)^3}.$$



      3) Integrate to get



      $$ int frac{x}{(2x+1)^3} dx = -frac{1}{4} (2x+1)^{-1} + frac{1}{8} (2x+1)^{-2}.$$

              $$I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{x mathrm dx}{(2x+1)^3}implies 2I=int_{0}^{1}dfrac{2x+1-1}{(2x+1)^3}mathrm dx$$ $$2I=int_{0}^{1}biggl[dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^2}-dfrac{1}{(2x+1)^3}biggr] mathrm dx $$



              Make the substitution $begin{bmatrix}t \ mathrm dt end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}2x+1 \ 2mathrm dxend{bmatrix}$ and use the general power rule for integrals:



              $$I=dfrac{1}{4}biggl[-dfrac{1}{t}+dfrac{1}{2t^2}biggr]_{1}^{3}=dfrac{1}{18}$$
