To solve the integral [tex]\(-\int \frac{x^2 + x + 2}{x + 5} \, dx\)[/tex], we'll break down the process into comprehensible steps, ensuring clarity in how each part contributes to the solution.
### Step 1: Simplify the integrand
First, let's rewrite the integrand by performing polynomial division on the function [tex]\(\frac{x^2 + x + 2}{x + 5}\)[/tex].
Perform the division:
1. Long Division Process:
1. Divide the leading term of the numerator [tex]\(x^2\)[/tex] by the leading term of the denominator [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{x^2}{x} = x.
\][/tex]
2. Multiply [tex]\(x\)[/tex] by the denominator [tex]\((x + 5)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
x \cdot (x + 5) = x^2 + 5x.
\][/tex]
3. Subtract this result from the original numerator:
[tex]\[
(x^2 + x + 2) - (x^2 + 5x) = (x + 2) - 5x = -4x + 2.
\][/tex]
4. Now, divide the new leading term [tex]\(-4x\)[/tex] by [tex]\(x\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
\frac{-4x}{x} = -4.
\][/tex]
5. Multiply [tex]\(-4\)[/tex] by the denominator [tex]\((x + 5)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
-4 \cdot (x + 5) = -4x - 20.
\][/tex]
6. Subtract this result from [tex]\(-4x + 2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[
(-4x + 2) - (-4x - 20) = 2 + 20 = 22.
\][/tex]
From this division, we get:
[tex]\[
\frac{x^2 + x + 2}{x + 5} = x - 4 + \frac{22}{x + 5}.
\][/tex]
### Step 2: Rewrite the integral
Now the original integral becomes:
[tex]\[
-\int \frac{x^2 + x + 2}{x + 5} \, dx = -\int \left(x - 4 + \frac{22}{x + 5}\right) \, dx.
\][/tex]
### Step 3: Integrate term-by-term
Integrate each term separately:
1. [tex]\(\int x \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2}\)[/tex],
2. [tex]\(\int (-4) \, dx = -4x\)[/tex],
3. [tex]\(\int \frac{22}{x + 5} \, dx = 22 \ln |x + 5|\)[/tex].
The integral becomes:
[tex]\[
- \left( \frac{x^2}{2} - 4x + 22 \ln |x + 5| \right).
\][/tex]
### Step 4: Apply the negative sign
Distribute the negative sign through the integral result:
[tex]\[
-\int \left(x - 4 + \frac{22}{x + 5}\right) \, dx = -\left( \frac{x^2}{2} - 4x + 22 \ln |x + 5| \right).
\][/tex]
### Step 5: Simplify the result
Simplify the result to get:
[tex]\[
-\frac{x^2}{2} + 4x - 22 \ln |x + 5| + C,
\][/tex]
where [tex]\(C\)[/tex] is the constant of integration.
So, the final answer is:
[tex]\[
-\frac{x^2}{2} + 4x - 22 \ln |x + 5| + C.
\][/tex]
