Answer

\[x-3\ln |x+2|+C\] Where $C$ ia constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{x-1}{x+2}dx\] \[I=\int\frac{(x+2)-3}{x+2}dx\] \[I=\int\left(1-\frac{3}{x+2}\right)dx\] \[I=\int dx-3\int\frac{1}{x+2}dx\] Let $t=x+2$ ____(1) $\Rightarrow dt=dx$ \[I=\int dx-3\int \frac{1}{t}dt\] \[I=x-3\ln |t|+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration From (1) \[I=x-3\ln |x+2|C\] Hence, \[I=x-3\ln |x+2|C.\]
