TopicIntegration with Partial Fractions

8 Let \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = \frac { 10 x + 9 } { ( 2 x + 1 ) ( 2 x + 3 ) ^ { 2 } }\).
  1. Express \(\mathrm { f } ( x )\) in partial fractions.
  2. Hence show that \(\int _ { 0 } ^ { 1 } \mathrm { f } ( x ) \mathrm { d } x = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln \frac { 9 } { 5 } + \frac { 1 } { 5 }\).
