    1. Factorise completely \(x^3+64\).[2]
    2. Hence, express \(\dfrac{3x^2}{x^3+64}\) in partial fractions.[5]
  1. Using the results in part (a), or otherwise, find[3]
    \[\int \dfrac{2x^3+3x^2+128}{x^3+64}\, dx .\]

Answer:\((a)(i)\ x^3+64=(x+4)(x^2-4x+16)\) \((a)(ii)\ \dfrac{3x^2}{x^3+64}=\dfrac{1}{x+4}+\dfrac{2x-4}{x^2-4x+16}\) \((b)\ 2x+\ln|x+4|+\ln(x^2-4x+16)+C\)
