Can partial fraction decomposition be used to evaluate the given integral? Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
A.
Yes, partial fraction decomposition can be used. The given integral can be rewritten as
Integral from nothing to nothing left parenthesis StartFraction 1 Over x EndFraction plus StartFraction 1 Over x squared plus 4 x plus 5 EndFraction right parenthesis dxStartFraction 1 Over x EndFraction plus StartFraction 1 Over x squared plus 4 x plus 5 EndFraction1x+1x2+4x+5dx,
which is more readily evaluated.
Your answer is correct.
B.
No, partial fraction decomposition cannot be used.
Part 2
Evaluate the indefinite integral.
Integral from nothing to nothing StartFraction x squared plus 5 x plus 5 Over x left parenthesis x squared plus 4 x plus 5 right parenthesis EndFraction dxx2+5x+5xx2+4x+5dxequals=enter your response here
