Evaluate :

Let

Put x2 = t




t = A(t + 9) + B(t + 4)


t = At + 9A + Bt + 4B


t = t(A + B) + (9A + 4B)


On comparing the coefficients of t and constant terms from both sides, we get


A + B = 1 …(i)


9A + 4B = 0 …(ii)


From eq. (i), we get


A = 1 – B …(iii)


Now, putting the value of A eq. (ii), we get


9(1 – B) + 4B = 0


9 – 9B + 4B = 0


9 – 5B = 0


5B = 9



So,






Now, we know that,
