TopicIntegration with Partial Fractions

3. $$\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { x ( 3 x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } } = \frac { A } { x } + \frac { B } { ( 3 x - 1 ) } + \frac { C } { ( 3 x - 1 ) ^ { 2 } }$$
  1. Find the values of the constants \(A , B\) and \(C\)
    1. Hence find \(\int \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x\)
    2. Find \(\int _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x\), giving your answer in the form \(a + \ln b\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants.
