$\int \frac{x+3}{(x+4)^2} e^x d x$ is equal to

  • Correct answer
    A
    $e^x\left(\frac{1}{x+4}\right)+C$
  • B
    $e^{-x}\left(\frac{1}{x+4}\right)+C$
  • C
    $e^{-x}\left(\frac{1}{x-4}\right)+C$
  • D
    $e^{2 x}\left(\frac{1}{x-4}\right)+C$

Solution

Suppose,
$I=\int \frac{x+3}{(x+4)^2} e^x d x=\int \frac{(x+4) 1}{(x+4)^2} e^x d x$
$=\int \frac{e^x}{(x+4)}-\int \frac{e^x}{(x+4)^2} d x$
$=\int e^x\left(\frac{1}{(x+4)}-\frac{1}{(x+4)^2}\right) d x$
$=e^x \frac{1}{(x+4)}+C$
$\left[\int e^x\left\{f(x)+f^{\prime}(x)\right\} d x=e^x f(x)+C\right]$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
