Solution
Step 1: Look for the ex(f+f)e^{x}(f+f') pattern. Take f(x)=1x31+x3f(x)=\dfrac{1-x^{3}}{1+x^{3}}. Step 2: Differentiate by the quotient rule:
f(x)=(3x2)(1+x3)(1x3)(3x2)(1+x3)2=3x23x53x2+3x5(1+x3)2=6x2(1+x3)2f'(x)=\dfrac{(-3x^{2})(1+x^{3})-(1-x^{3})(3x^{2})}{(1+x^{3})^{2}}=\dfrac{-3x^{2}-3x^{5}-3x^{2}+3x^{5}}{(1+x^{3})^{2}}=\dfrac{-6x^{2}}{(1+x^{3})^{2}}
Step 3: Add f+ff+f' over the common denominator (1+x3)2(1+x^{3})^{2}. Writing f=(1x3)(1+x3)(1+x3)2=1x6(1+x3)2f=\dfrac{(1-x^{3})(1+x^{3})}{(1+x^{3})^{2}}=\dfrac{1-x^{6}}{(1+x^{3})^{2}},
f(x)+f(x)=(1x6)6x2(1+x3)2=1x66x2(1+x3)2f(x)+f'(x)=\dfrac{(1-x^{6})-6x^{2}}{(1+x^{3})^{2}}=\dfrac{1-x^{6}-6x^{2}}{(1+x^{3})^{2}}
which is exactly the bracket in the integrand. Step 4: Apply ex(f+f)dx=exf\displaystyle\int e^{x}(f+f')\,dx=e^{x}f:
I=ex1x31+x3+c    p=3, q=3    p+q=6I=e^{x}\,\dfrac{1-x^{3}}{1+x^{3}}+c\;\Rightarrow\; p=3,\ q=3\;\Rightarrow\; p+q=6
Correct answer: (2)
