The value of the integral I=∫ex(x−2)(x+1)4dxI=\displaystyle\int\dfrac{e^x(x-2)}{(x+1)^4}dx is, [CC is an arbitrary constant]

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Use ∫ex[f(x)+f′(x)]dx=exf(x)+C\displaystyle\int e^x[f(x)+f'(x)]dx=e^xf(x)+C. Taking f(x)=1(x+1)3f(x)=\dfrac{1}{(x+1)^3} gives f′(x)=−3(x+1)4f'(x)=\dfrac{-3}{(x+1)^4}, and f+f′=(x+1)−3(x+1)4=x−2(x+1)4f+f'=\dfrac{(x+1)-3}{(x+1)^4}=\dfrac{x-2}{(x+1)^4}. Hence I=ex(x+1)3+CI=\dfrac{e^x}{(x+1)^3}+C.
