Example 7:

        Perform the integration


                                    4
                                            5
                                   ∫               
                                        3
                                         − 1
                                   2
        The  denominator  is  of  a  higher  order  than  the

        numerator, perform division.


                  2
                      _______
                  5
        x  – 1|x
          3
                   x  – x 2
                  5
                          x 2

        The result is,

                                                2
                                     2

                                             − 1
        The integral becomes,
