Find the following integrals.

  1. \(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{x^2 - 3x - 1}{x^2 - 4x + 1} \, \mathrm{d}x \,,\)[3]
  2. \(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int x \ln (kx) \, \mathrm{d}x \,,\) where \(k\) is a real constant,[2]
  3. \(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{\sin \theta}{2 \cos 2\theta + 1} \, \mathrm{d}\theta \,,\) using the substitution \(x = \cos \theta\).[4]
Answer:(a)\(x+\frac{1}{2}\ln |x^2-4x+1|+C\) (b)\(\frac{1}{2}x^2\ln kx -\frac{1}{4}x^2+C\) (c)\(\frac{1}{4}\ln|\frac{1+2\cos\theta}{1-2\cos\theta}|+C\)
