Evaluate:

Let


3x + 1 = A(-2 – 2x) + B


3x + 1 = -2A – 2Ax + B


On comparing


-2Ax = 3x



and -2A + B = 1



3 + B = 1


B = 1 – 3


B = -2



…(A)


Solving …(i)


Let 5 – 2x – x2 = t


Differentiating with respect to x, we get




(-2 – 2x) dx = dt


Putting the value of (-2 – 2x)dx in eq. (i), we get







= -3√t + C1


…(ii)






Let y = x + 1


dy = dx




We know that,




Replacing y by x + 1


…(iii)


Putting the value (ii) and (iii) in eq. (A)
