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

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

ln ∣ x ∣ + 2 arctan (x) + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{( x + 1 ) ^{2}}{x ( x ^{2} + 1 )} : \frac{1}{x} + \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 1}

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

= ln ∣ x ∣ + 2 arctan (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ + 2 arctan (x) + C
