Theorem

$\ds \int \frac {\d x} {a x^2 + b x + c} = \frac 1 b \ln \size {b x + c} + C$

when $a = 0$.


Proof

\(\ds a\) \(=\) \(\ds 0\)
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) \(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {a x^2 + b x + c}\) \(=\) \(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {b x + c}\)
\(\ds \) \(=\) \(\ds \frac 1 b \ln \size {b x + c} + C\) Primitive of $\dfrac 1 {a x + b}$

$\blacksquare$
