Solution
Hint : To solve this question, we will first simplify the given expression as much as possible. Then we will write the numerator as the sum of some factor into denominator and some factor into derivative of denominator. Then we will find the values of those factors and split the numerator and then integrate them. In this way, we can avoid complex integrations. Thus, we will find the integral in the form Ax+Bln(9e2x−4)+C and find the value of A and B. After adding A and B, we get the solution to the question.
Complete step-by-step answer :
To begin with, we will multiply and divide the given expression by ex .
⇒9ex−4e−x4ex+6e−x×exex=9e2x−44e2x+6
Now, we need to split the numerator in such a way that one term is multiple of denominator and the other is the multiple of derivative of the denominator.
The denominator with us is 9e2x−4 .
⇒dxd(9e2x−4)=18e2x
Thus, 4e2x+6=M(9e2x−4)+N(18e2x)
Now, we need to find value of M and N.
From the LHS and RHS, we can say that;
9M + 18N = 4
─4M = 6
⇒ M = −23
We will substitute M = −23 in 9M + 18N = 4
⇒9×−23+18N=4⇒N=3635
Thus, 4e2x+6=−23(9e2x−4)+3635(18e2x)
Thus, the expression modifies as 9ex−4e−x4ex+6e−x=9e2x−4−23(9e2x−4)+3635(18e2x)
Thus, we can split the whole expression.
⇒9e2x−4−23(9e2x−4)+3635(18e2x)=−23(1)+3635×(9e2x−4)18e2x
Now, we shall integrate −23(1)+3635×(9e2x−4)18e2x .
We shall remember that ∫f(x)f′(x)=ln(f(x))
⇒∫−23(1)+3635×(9e2x−4)18e2x=−23x+3635ln(9e2x−4)+C
Thus, A = −23 and B = 3635 .
So, A + B = −23+3635
⇒ A + B = −3619
So, the correct answer is “Option B”.
Note : If splitting of the numerator would not have been done, we would have to integrate it by parts. The formula for integration by parts is as follows: ∫uv=u∫v−∫∫v−dxdu .
