integral of (ln(x+1)-ln(x))/(x(x+1))

\int \frac{ln ( x + 1 ) - ln ( x )}{x ( x + 1 )} d x

- \frac{( ln ( x + 1 ) - ln ( x ) ) ^{2}}{2} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{ln ( x + 1 ) - ln ( x )}{x ( x + 1 )} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int - u d u

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int u d u

Apply the Power Rule

= - \frac{u ^{2}}{2}

Substitute back

u = ln (x + 1) - ln (x)

= - \frac{( ln ( x + 1 ) - ln ( x ) ) ^{2}}{2}

Add a constant to the solution

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