Calculate Integral xdx/(2x+1)(x+1).

We have to write the function as a sum of simple
ratio:


x/(x+1)(2x+1) = A/(x+1) +
B/(2x+1)


Bringing the 2 ratio to the same denominator,
we'll have:


x = A(2x+1) +
B(x+1)


x = 2Ax + A + Bx +
B


x = x(2A+B) + A + B


Being an
identity, the expression above has to have the corresponding coefficients
equal.


So, the coefficient of x, from the left side, is 0,
the left side being written: x+0.


According to
this:


2A+B=1


A + B=0, so
A=-B


-2B+B=1


-B=1


B=-1,
so A=1


x/(x+1)(2x+1) = 1/(x+1) -
1/(2x+1)


Integral [xdx/(x+1)(2x+1)]=Integral
dx/(x+1)-Integral[dx/(2x+1)]


Integral dx/(x+1) =
ln(x+1)


-Integral [dx/(2x+1)] =
-ln(2x+1)


Integral [xdx/(x+1)(2x+1)] = ln(x+1)-ln(2x+1) +
C


Integral [xdx/(x+1)(2x+1)] =
ln[(x+1)/(2x+1)] + C

How far is Iago justified in hating Othello?

Iago hates Othello for some of reasons. First reason could be that Othello promoted Cassio in his place; however, Iago wants it and he cosid...
