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

integral

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

- \frac{1}{x} + x + C

Solution steps

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

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

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

Apply exponent rule:

\frac{1}{a ^{b}} = a^{- b}

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

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

= - \frac{1}{x} + x

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{x} + x + C

in t e g r a l 1 + tan (x)

in t e g r a l x^{2} + 2

in t e g r a l e^{x} \cdot sin^{2} (x)

in t e g r a l x^{2} - 1

in t e g r a l \frac{x}{( x ^{3} + 1 )}
