f(x) = (x-5)/(x^2+5x+4), express this in partial fractions and hence find the integral of f(x) dx between x=0 and x=2, giving the answer as a single simplified logarithm.

f(x) = (x - 5) / (x + 4)(x + 1) let f(x) = A / (x + 4) + B / (x + 1) so (x - 5) / (x + 4)(x + 1) = A / (x + 4) + B / (x + 1) then multiplying by (x+4)(x+1), we get ...
