given that 1/(x-2) - 4/(x+3) + 3 = (3x^2 - 7)/ ((x-2)(x+3)), find the area between the curve and the x-axis between their points of intersection.

the answer i get is approx 4.67. But the answer at the back of the book says 2.66.

Can some please evaluate the integral so i can see whether the answer is right or wrong? :)

Nah, I got 2.66 too using Tofuu's integral. Check that you shoved it all into the calculator right, it gets confusing with the absolutes in the logs and roots of fractions.
