could've sworn I did this one yesterday

#

it simplifies to (x³+x²-1)/(x+1)

#

which is ⅓x³-ln|x+1|+C

but i got fucked up

#

and forgot to screenshot

#

does the x^2/1 cancel out a x^2 from the other fraction?

#

on top you have (x²-x+1)(x³+x²-1) and on bottom you have (x+1)(x²-x+1)
which becomes (x³+x²-1)/(x+1)

i’m missing something here

eating lunch, i’ll do some tinkering with factoring in a second

proven jetty
#

wait

#

hm

#

okay

#

so i redid the math and the top factor works

#

so does your method skip long division entirely?

#

or i can still long divide and only factor the bottom i guess
