Correct answer
A12loge17-logc19

Step-by-step explanation

Let

I=2xx2+1x2+3dx

Put x2=t2xdx=dt

I=1t+1t+3dt

I=122t+1t+3dt

I=121t+1-1t+3dt

I=12lnt+1-lnt+3+C

fx=12lnx2+1-lnx2+3+C

Put x=3, then

12ln5-ln6=12ln10-ln12+C

12ln5-ln6=12ln2+ln5-ln2-ln6+C

C=0

So,

fx=12lnx2+1-lnx2+3

f4=12ln17-ln19 or f4=12loge17-loge19
