⌠ 5x3 – 5x2 + 11x + 19 dx

5x3 – 5x2 + 11x + 19 A B Cx + D

2 2 = x–1 + 2 + 2
(x – 1) (x + 9) (x – 1) x +9

5x3 – 5x2 + 11x + 19 = A(x – 1)(x2 + 9) + B(x2 + 9) + (Cx + D)(x – 1)2

x = 1: 30 = 10B → B = 3

Multiplying out the right side:

A(x3 – x2 + 9x – 9) + B(x2 + 9) + (Cx + D)(x2 – 2x + 1) =

(A + C)x3 + (–A + B – 2C + D)x2 + (9A + C – 2D)x + (–9A + 9B + D)

coefficient of x3: 5 = A + C

coefficient of x: 11 = 9A + C – 2D

constant: 19 = –9A + 9B + D → 19 = –9A + 27 + D → –9A + D = –8

9A + C – 2D = 11
A+C =5
8A – 2D = 6 → 4A – D = 3

4A – D = 3
–9A + D = –8
–5A = –5 → A = 1 A +C=5 → C=4 4A – D = 3 → D = 1
