Analyzing the Setup
Welcome, fellow traveler on the path to JEE Advanced mastery. Today, we are not just solving an integral; we are conducting a symphony.
The problem before us, I=∫(x2+x+1)2dx, might look like a daunting, impenetrable wall of algebra. But I want you to take a deep breath.
In mathematics, complexity is often just a mask for hidden symmetry. Our job is to peel back that mask.
The Foundation of Completing the Square
When you see a quadratic expression like x2+x+1 sitting in the denominator, your intuition should immediately scream, "Complete the square!"
Integration is fundamentally about finding patterns, and a raw quadratic is a chaotic mess. By completing the square, we impose order.
We take the expression x2+x+1 and manipulate it. We add and subtract 41 to create a perfect square trinomial:
x2+x+1=(x2+x+41)+43=(x+21)2+(23)2
Look at that! We have transformed a generic quadratic into a sum of squares. This is the geometric bedrock of our solution.
We are no longer dealing with a random polynomial; we are dealing with a structure that screams for trigonometric intervention.
The Trigonometric Bridge
Now, we enter the most exciting phase of the journey: the substitution. We have the form u2+a2, where u=x+21 and a=23.
This is the classic signature of the tangent function. Let us set:
x+21=23tanθ
This substitution is not arbitrary; it is a key that unlocks the door. If we rearrange this, we get tanθ=32x+1.
Now, we must transform our differential dx. Differentiating both sides with respect to θ, we get:
dx=23sec2θdθ
Imagine the integral now. The denominator becomes (43tan2θ+43)2.
Factoring out the 43, we get 169(1+tan2θ)2. Since 1+tan2θ=sec2θ, the denominator simplifies to 169sec4θ.
The transformation is complete, and the chaos has vanished.
The Calculus Dance
Let us assemble our new integral. Substituting our terms, we have:
I=∫169sec4θ23sec2θdθ
Watch the magic happen. The constants 23 and 916 multiply to give 983.
The trigonometric terms sec4θsec2θ simplify to sec2θ1, which is simply cos2θ. Our terrifying integral has collapsed into the elegant form:
I=983∫cos2θdθ
To solve this, we use the double-angle identity, cos2θ=21+cos2θ. This is a staple of JEE problems—never fear the power of a trigonometric function; just reduce its degree!
I=983∫21+cos2θdθ=943∫(1+cos2θ)dθ
Integrating term by term, we get:
I=943(θ+2sin2θ)+C
The Geometric Return
We are almost there. We have the answer in terms of θ, but the original question was in terms of x. We must return home.
We know θ=tan−1(32x+1). But what about 2sin2θ?
Recall that sin2θ=2sinθcosθ. Therefore, 2sin2θ=sinθcosθ.
Using our right-angled triangle where the opposite side is 2x+1 and the adjacent side is 3, the hypotenuse is 2x2+x+1. Thus:
sinθ=2x2+x+12x+1,cosθ=2x2+x+13
Multiplying these gives us the term 4(x2+x+1)3(2x+1). When we distribute the constant 943, the math aligns perfectly with the target form provided in the question.
The Final Victory
By comparing our result with the target atan−1(32x+1)+b(x2+x+12x+1)+C, we identify:
a=943,b=31
Finally, we calculate the value of 9(3a+b):
9(3⋅943+31)=9(34+31)=9(35)=15
And there it is. 15. A beautiful, clean integer at the end of a complex journey.
Remember, in JEE Advanced, the complexity is just a test of your patience and your ability to see the underlying structure. Keep practicing, keep visualizing, and keep falling in love with the process.
