integral of (2x+1)/(x^3+x)

\int \frac{2 x + 1}{x ^{3} + x} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{2 x + 1}{x ^{3} + x} d x

Expand

\frac{2 x + 1}{x ^{3} + x} : \frac{2 x}{x ^{3} + x} + \frac{1}{x ^{3} + 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{2 x}{x ^{3} + x} d x + \int \frac{1}{x ^{3} + x} d x

\int \frac{2 x}{x ^{3} + x} d x = 2 arctan (x)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{3} + x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1

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

Add a constant to the solution

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