Express \(\frac{4x^2 - 13x + 13}{(2x - 1)(x - 3)}\) in partial fractions.
Let \(f(x) \equiv \frac{x^2 + 3x + 3}{(x+1)(x+3)}\).
(i) Express \(f(x)\) in partial fractions.
(ii) Hence show that \(\int_0^3 f(x) \, dx = 3 - \frac{1}{2} \ln 2\).
Let \(f(x) = \frac{x^3 - x - 2}{(x-1)(x^2+1)}\).
(i) Express \(f(x)\) in the form \(A + \frac{B}{x-1} + \frac{Cx+D}{x^2+1}\), where \(A, B, C\) and \(D\) are constants.
(ii) Hence show that \(\int_2^3 f(x) \, dx = 1\).
Let \(f(x) = \frac{4x^2 + 9x - 8}{(x+2)(2x-1)}\).
(i) Express \(f(x)\) in the form \(A + \frac{B}{x+2} + \frac{C}{2x-1}\).
(ii) Hence show that \(\int_1^4 f(x) \, dx = 6 + \frac{1}{2} \ln \left( \frac{16}{7} \right)\).
Show that \(\int_1^2 \frac{u-1}{u+1} \, du = 1 + \ln \frac{4}{9}\).
