Using partial fractions we have to find A and B such that:
7(x+6)(x+5)=Ax+6+Bx+5
Multiplying both sides of the equation by (x+6)(x+5) we obtain:
A×(x+5)+B×(x+6)=7⇒(A+B)x+5A+6B=7.
One method to find A and B is by comparing coefficients:
Identifying coefficients:
Constant term: 5A+6B=7
Coefficient of x: A+B=0 which gives A=−B
Solving these simultaneous equations gives A=−7 and B=7
Which gives: 7(x+6)(x+5)=−7(1x+6−1x+5)
So I=∫7(x+6)(x+5)dx=−7(∫1x+6dx−∫1x+5dx)=−7(ln(x+6)−ln(x+5))+C
Or equivalently: I=−7ln(x+6x+5)+C
