Write 6x+76x+7 as A⋅ddx(x2−9x+20)+BA\cdot\frac{d}{dx}(x^2-9x+20)+B, split into a perfect-derivative piece and a standard ∫dx/x2−a2\int dx/\sqrt{x^2-a^2} piece.

Here (x−5)(x−4)=x2−9x+20(x-5)(x-4)=x^2-9x+20. Write

6x+7=A(2x−9)+B.6x+7 = A(2x-9)+B.

Comparing coefficients: 2A=6⇒A=32A=6\Rightarrow A=3; and −9A+B=7⇒−27+B=7⇒B=34-9A+B=7\Rightarrow -27+B=7\Rightarrow B=34.

So the integral splits as:

∫6x+7x2−9x+20dx=3∫2x−9x2−9x+20dx+34∫dxx2−9x+20.\int\frac{6x+7}{\sqrt{x^2-9x+20}}dx = 3\int\frac{2x-9}{\sqrt{x^2-9x+20}}dx + 34\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2-9x+20}}.

First piece: since 2x−92x-9 is exactly the derivative of x2−9x+20x^2-9x+20,

3∫2x−9x2−9x+20dx=3⋅2x2−9x+20=6x2−9x+20.3\int\frac{2x-9}{\sqrt{x^2-9x+20}}dx = 3\cdot 2\sqrt{x^2-9x+20} = 6\sqrt{x^2-9x+20}.
