\n \t\t

Added tags.

\n \t\t

Added description.

\n \t\t

Checked calculation. OK.

\n \t\t

Added information about Show steps in prompt content area. 

\n \t\t

Added decimal point as forbidden string and included message in prompt about not entering decimals.

\n \t\t

Got rid of a redundant ruleset. !noLeadingMinus added to std ruleset.

\n \t\t

Note that the choice of variables means that the argument of the log answer is always $\\gt 0$ so no need to use abs.

Find $\\displaystyle \\int \\frac{2ax + b}{ax ^ 2 + bx + c}\\;dx$

"}, "variablesTest": {"condition": "", "maxRuns": 100}, "advice": "

This exercise is best solved by using substitution.

\n

Note that the numerator $\\simplify[std]{{2 * a} * x + {b}}$ of \\[\\simplify[std]{({2 * a} * x + {b}) / ({a} * x ^ 2 + {b} * x + {c})}\\] is the derivative of the denominator $\\simplify[std]{{a} * x ^ 2 + {b} * x + {c}}$

\n

So if you use as your substitution $u=\\simplify[std]{{a} * (x ^ 2) + ({b} * x) + {c}}$ you then have $\\simplify[std]{ du = ({2 * a} * x + {b}) * dx}$

\n

Hence we can replace $\\simplify[std]{ ({2 * a} * x + {b}) * dx}$ by $du$

\n

Hence the integral becomes:

\n

\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} I&=&\\int\\;\\frac{du}{u}\\\\ &=&\\ln(|u|)+C\\\\ &=& \\simplify[std]{ln(abs({a} * (x ^ 2) + ({b} * x) + {c}))+C} \\end{eqnarray*}\\]

\n

A Useful Result
This example can be generalised.
Suppose \\[I = \\int\\; \\frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}\\;dx\\]
The using the substitution $u=f(x)$ we find that $du=f'(x)\\;dx$ and so using the same method as above:
\\[I = \\int \\frac{du}{u} = \\ln(|u|)+ C = \\ln(|f(x)|)+C\\]
