∫ex(x−12x2)dx\int e^x \left(\frac{x-1}{2x^2}\right) dx is equal to ( where CC is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Write x−12x2=12x−12x2\frac{x-1}{2x^2}=\frac{1}{2x}-\frac{1}{2x^2}. With f(x)=12xf(x)=\frac{1}{2x} we get f′(x)=−12x2f'(x)=-\frac{1}{2x^2}, so the integrand is ex{f(x)+f′(x)}e^x\{f(x)+f'(x)\}, whose integral is exf(x)+C=ex2x+Ce^xf(x)+C=\frac{e^x}{2x}+C.
