Integral keeps showing wrong answer
显示 更早的评论
I have been doing the integral of f=(8*x-4)/(4*x^2-4*x+5) with matlab, however, it keeps giving the wrong answer, could you help me spot whether I did something wrong with my codes? Or is it a problem of matlab?
PS: the correct answer should be log(4*x^2−4*x+5)+c, but matlab keeps showing log(x^2 - x + 5/4) (yeah I know that matlab doesn't show "+c", but still, the answer is wrong).

It appears to be correct, simply simplified:
syms x
f = (8*x-4)/(4*x^2-4*x+5);
fint = int(f)
dfint = diff(fint)
figure
fplot(f, [-10 10])
hold on
fplot(dfint, [-10 10], '--')
hold off
The two plots are the same.

Log of something multiplied by 4 is equal to log 4 plus log of the something. log 4 is an additive constant and indefinite integrals can have arbitrary additive constants. Therefore both versions are correct.
MATLAB considers division (your proposed 5/4) to be more expensive than multiplication so it prefers the version without the division.
