The value of integral I=∫35x2(x−1)(x−2) dxI = \int_{3}^{5} \frac{x^2}{(x-1)(x-2)}\,dx is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Split as 1−1x−1+4x−21 - \frac{1}{x-1} + \frac{4}{x-2}. Integrating gives x−log⁡∣x−1∣+4log⁡∣x−2∣x - \log|x-1| + 4\log|x-2|. Evaluating from 3 to 5: (5−log⁡4+4log⁡3)−3=2−2log⁡2+log⁡2+4log⁡3=2−log⁡2+4log⁡3(5 - \log 4 + 4\log 3) - 3 = 2 - 2\log 2 + \log 2 + 4\log 3 = 2 - \log 2 + 4\log 3.
