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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Factor

u^{2} - 1 : - (- u^{2} + 1)

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

Take the constant out:

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

= - \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= - (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2})

Substitute back

u = 1 + x^{2}

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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