integral of ((x+1))/((x^2+2x))

\int \frac{( x + 1 )}{( x ^{2} + 2 x )} d x

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 x + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x + 1}{x ^{2} + 2 x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{2 u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 2 x

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 x

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 x + C
