so I'm having problems with the coefficients in this problem.

[tex]\int[/tex](10z+8/z^2-8z+41)dz

i know that the main chunk is

(a)ln|(z-4)^2+25|+(b)arctan((z-4)/5)

a and b are 5 and 32/5 respectively
the problem is i can't seem to split up the top so that the first portion is the derivative of the bottom and that the other top is the right constant.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
(a)ln|(z-4)^2+25|+(b)arctan((z-4)/5)

If this is not the answer how it is related to the question..?:smile:
 
the main part is not what i need explained which is the chunk there. it is the a and b portion. i just need to know how the coefficients are found

Do you mean
[tex]\int\frac{10z+8}{z^2-8z+41}dz[/tex]
?

To me it is not clear what you already solved and where your problem is. I suggest you present what you did so far and how you obtained the partial answer (a).
