Find the values for the unknown coefficients: $A, B, C, D$. The first step is to multiply both sides of the equation from the previous step by $\left(x^2+1\right)\left(x-3\right)^2$
Expand the integral $\int\left(\frac{-\frac{51}{50}x+\frac{7}{50}}{x^2+1}+\frac{19}{5\left(x-3\right)^2}+\frac{51}{50\left(x-3\right)}\right)dx$ into $3$ integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately
We can solve the integral $\int\frac{19}{5\left(x-3\right)^2}dx$ by applying integration by substitution method (also called U-Substitution). First, we must identify a section within the integral with a new variable (let's call it $u$), which when substituted makes the integral easier. We see that $x-3$ it's a good candidate for substitution. Let's define a variable $u$ and assign it to the choosen part
$u=x-3$

We can solve the integral $\int\frac{x}{x^2+1}dx$ by applying integration by substitution method (also called U-Substitution). First, we must identify a section within the integral with a new variable (let's call it $u$), which when substituted makes the integral easier. We see that $x^2+1$ it's a good candidate for substitution. Let's define a variable $u$ and assign it to the choosen part
