Integration — practice question

Define $f(x)$ by $f(x) = \frac{2e^{2x}}{e^{2x} - 3e^{x} + 2}$.
(a)[5]

Determine $f'(x)$ and hence determine the exact coordinates of the stationary point on the curve with equation $y = f(x)$.

(b)[9]

Make the substitution $u = e^x$ and use partial fractions to determine the exact value of $\int_{\ln 3}^{\ln 5} f(x)\,dx$. Present your answer as $\ln a$, where $a$ is a rational number in simplest form.
