Question

Let  f ( x ) = 1 1 x 2 for  1 < x < 1 . Use partial fractions to find  f ( x )   d x .

Markscheme

1 1 x 2 = 1 ( 1 x ) ( 1 + x ) A 1 x + B 1 + x     M1M1A1

1 A ( 1 + x ) + B ( 1 x ) A = B = 1 2      M1A1A1

1 2 1 x + 1 2 1 + x d x = 1 2 ln ( 1 x ) + 1 2 ln ( 1 + x ) + c     ( = ln k 1 + x 1 x )     M1A1
