CBSE Class 12 · 2009 · Indefinite IntegralsLong Answer

Evaluate :

\int \frac{( x - 4 ) e ^{x}}{( x - 2 ) ^{3}} d x

Answer: $\frac{e ^{x}}{( x - 2 ) ^{2}} + C$

Solution

Write

x - 4 = (x - 2) - 2

, so

\frac{x - 4}{( x - 2 ) ^{3}} = \frac{1}{( x - 2 ) ^{2}} - \frac{2}{( x - 2 ) ^{3}} .

Take

f (x) = \frac{1}{( x - 2 ) ^{2}}

; then

f^{'} (x) = - \frac{2}{( x - 2 ) ^{3}}

, so the integrand is

e^{x} {f (x) + f^{'} (x)}

and

\int e^{x} {f + f^{'}} d x = e^{x} f (x) + C .

\frac{e ^{x}}{( x - 2 ) ^{2}} + C
