Thread: need help calculating this integral

the integral from 0 to 1:


x^3-x^2+x+1/(x+1)(x-2)

i think i should use sub by parts???but i am a bit lost here!! thanks!

x^3-x^2+x+1/(x+1)(x-2) ( you need to factorise the top equation )
(x+1)(x^2-x+1) / (x+1)(x-2)
(x^2-x+1) / (x-2)

I hope you will be able to take it from here.
