### Calculus Problem: Evaluating an Integral

Consider the following integral:

\[ \int_{0}^{1} \frac{dx}{x^2 + 3x + 2} \]

Below are multiple choice options for the result of the integral:

a) \(\ln{\frac{2}{3}}\)

b) \(\infty\)

c) \(0\)

d) \(-\ln{\frac{3}{4}}\)

e) \(\ln{\frac{3}{4}}\)

### Explanation:

To evaluate the integral \(\int_{0}^{1} \frac{dx}{x^2 + 3x + 2}\), we can first factor the denominator:

\[ x^2 + 3x + 2 = (x + 1)(x + 2) \]

Thus, the integral becomes:

\[ \int_{0}^{1} \frac{dx}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} \]

We can use partial fraction decomposition to simplify this further. We write:

\[ \frac{1}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} = \frac{A}{x + 1} + \frac{B}{x + 2} \]

Solving for \(A\) and \(B\), we get:

\[ \frac{1}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} = \frac{A(x + 2) + B(x + 1)}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} \]

\[ 1 = A(x + 2) + B(x + 1) \]

By comparing coefficients or substituting suitable values of \(x\), we find \(A = 1\) and \(B = -1\). Therefore:

\[ \frac{1}{(x + 1)(x + 2)} = \frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x + 2} \]

The integral can now be written as:

\[ \int_{0}^{1} \left(\frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x + 2}\right) dx \]

This can be separated into two integrals:

\[ \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x + 1} dx - \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{x
