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

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

- \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 2 x ) ^{2}} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{2 u ^{3}} 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 ^{3}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 u ^{2}})

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 2 x

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 2 x ) ^{2}}) : - \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 2 x ) ^{2}}

= - \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 2 x ) ^{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{4 ( x ^{2} + 2 x ) ^{2}} + C
