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

integral

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

x + 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x} + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

\int \frac{2}{x} d x = 2 ln ∣ x ∣

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

= x + 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x}

Add a constant to the solution

= x + 2 ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{x} + C
