TopicIntegration by Substitution

3. (i) Given that $$\frac { 13 - 4 x } { ( 2 x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 3 ) } \equiv \frac { A } { ( 2 x + 1 ) } + \frac { B } { ( 2 x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } } + \frac { C } { ( x + 3 ) }$$
  1. find the values of the constants \(A , B\) and \(C\).
  2. Hence find $$\int \frac { 13 - 4 x } { ( 2 x + 1 ) ^ { 2 } ( x + 3 ) } \mathrm { d } x , \quad x > - \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$ (ii) Find $$\int \left( \mathrm { e } ^ { x } + 1 \right) ^ { 3 } \mathrm {~d} x$$ (iii) Using the substitution \(u ^ { 3 } = x\), or otherwise, find $$\int \frac { 1 } { 4 x + 5 x ^ { \frac { 1 } { 3 } } } \mathrm {~d} x , \quad x > 0$$
