Use the substitution x=u2+1x = u^2 + 1x=u2+1 to show that
∫2102 dx(x−1)(2+x−1)=∫qp4 duu(u+2) \int_2^{10} \frac{2 \, dx}{(x-1)(2+\sqrt{x-1})} = \int_q^p \frac{4 \, du}{u(u+2)} ∫210(x−1)(2+x−1)2dx=∫qpu(u+2)4duwhere p p\,p and q q\,q are positive constants to be found.
Hence, using algebraic integration, show that
∫2102 dx(x−1)(2+x−1)=lna \int_2^{10} \frac{2 \, dx}{(x-1)(2+\sqrt{x-1})} = \ln a ∫210(x−1)(2+x−1)2dx=lnawhere a a\,a is a rational constant to be found.
