We need to evaluate:
I=∫(x−1)3/4(x+2)5/4dx
The total power in the denominator is 43+45=2, so we substitute:
t=x+2x−1
dt=(x+2)2(x+2)(1)−(x−1)(1)dx
=(x+2)23dx
dx=3(x+2)2dt
Since x−1=t(x+2), we get (x−1)3/4=t3/4(x+2)3/4
The denominator becomes:
t3/4(x+2)3/4⋅(x+2)5/4=t3/4(x+2)2
I=∫t3/4(x+2)2(x+2)2/3dt
=31∫t−3/4dt
=31⋅1/4t1/4+c
=34t1/4+c
I=34(x+2x−1)1/4+c
x+2x−1=x+2(x+2)−3=1−x+23
I=34(1−x+23)1/4+c
Comparing with α[1−g(x)]β+c:
α=34, β=41, g(x)=x+23
(A) α=32 → α=34=32 ❌
(B) β=43 → β=41=43 ❌
(C) 3α+4β=3×34+4×41
=4+1=5 ✅
(D) g(x)=x+23 ✅
The correct answer is (C) and (D) only.
