Problem

Consider the indefinite integral I=∫4x2−7x−6x−1 dx,I=\int \frac{4x^{2}-7x-6}{x-1}\,dx, where x≠1x\neq1. (a) Compute II and express the result with an arbitrary constant of integration. (b) Combine any logarithmic terms in your answer from part (a) into a single logarithm with an absolute value argument; show the algebra that justifies the combination. (c) State the largest interval of real numbers on which the antiderivative obtained in part (b) is valid without modification.
