Solution: \begin{align*} && \int \frac{{\rm P} ( x)}{ \big( {\rm Q} ( x)\big )^ 2}\, \d x &= \int \frac{{\rm Q} (x){\rm R}'(x) - {\rm Q}'(x){\rm R}(x)}{ \big( {\rm Q} ( x)\big )^ 2}\, \d x \\ &&&= \int \frac{\d}{\d x} \left ( \frac{R(x)}{Q(x)} \right) \d x \\ &&&= \frac{R(x)}{Q(x)} + C \end{align*}

1. Suppose \(Q(x) = 1 + 2x + 3x^2, P(x) = 5x^2-4x-3\), and \(R(x) = a +bx + cx^2\), then \begin{align*} && 5x^2-4x-3 &= (1 + 2x + 3x^2)(2cx+b) - (6x+2)(a+bx+cx^2) \\ &&&= (6c-6c)x^3 + (3b+4c-6b-2c)x^2 + \\ &&&\quad+(2c+2b-6a-2b)x + (b-2a) \\ \Rightarrow && 2c-3b &= 5 \\ && 2c-6a &= -4 \\ && b - 2a &= -3 \\ \Rightarrow && b &= 2a - 3\\ && c &= 3a-2 \end{align*} So say \(a = 0, b = -3, c = -2\) we will have \begin{align*} \int \frac{5x^2 - 4x - 3} {(1 + 2x + 3x^2 )^2 } \, \d x &= \frac{-3x-2x^2}{1+2x+3x^2} + C \end{align*} Suppose we have a different value of \(a\), then we end up with: \begin{align*} \frac{a+(2a-3)x+(3a-2)x^2}{1+2x+3x^2} = a +\frac{-3x-2x^2}{1+2x+3x^2} \end{align*} So the different antiderivatives differ by a constant.
2. \(\,\) \begin{align*} && \frac{\d }{\d x} \left ( \frac{1}{1+\cos x + 2 \sin x } y\right) &= \frac{5-3\cos x + 4 \sin x }{(1+\cos x + 2 \sin x)^2} \\ \end{align*} We want to find \(R(x) = A \cos x + B\sin x + C\) such that \begin{align*} &&5-3\cos x + 4 \sin x &= (1+\cos x + 2 \sin x)R'(x) - R(x)(-\sin x + 2 \cos x) \\ &&&= (1+\cos x + 2 \sin x)(-A\sin x + B \cos x) \\ &&&\quad- (A\cos x + B \sin x + C)(-\sin x + 2 \cos x) \\ &&&=(-A+C) \sin x + (B-2C)\cos x +\\ &&&\quad\quad (2B-A+A-2B)\sin x \cos x \\ &&&\quad\quad (-2A+B)\sin^2x+(B-2A)\cos^2x \\ &&&= (-A+C)\sin x + (B-2C)\cos x +(B-2A) \\ \Rightarrow && B-2A &= 5\\ && C-A &= 4 \\ && B-2C &= -3 \\ \end{align*} There are many solutions so WLOG \(C=4, A = 0, B = 5\) and so \begin{align*} && \int \frac{5-3\cos x + 4 \sin x }{(1+\cos x + 2 \sin x)^2} \d x &= \frac{5\sin x +4}{1+\cos x + 2 \sin x} + K \\ \Rightarrow && y &= 5\sin x + 4 + K(1 + \cos x + 2 \sin x) \end{align*}
