Answer

$$\frac{3}{2} x^{2}+12 x-46 \ln |x-4|+C$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\int \frac{\left(3 x^{2}-2\right) d x}{x-4}$$ By using long division, we get \begin{aligned} \frac{\left(3 x^{2}-2\right)}{x-4}= (3 x+12)-\frac{46}{x-4} \end{aligned} Then \begin{aligned} \int \frac{3 x^{2}-2}{x-4} d x &=\int(3 x-12) d x-\int \frac{46}{x-4} d x\\ &=\frac{3}{2} x^{2}+12 x-46 \ln |x-4|+C \end{aligned}
