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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

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

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

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

Simplify

x - 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{x + 1} - \frac{1}{x + 1} : x - 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{2}{x + 1}

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int (x^{3} - 5) (x^{2} + 4) d x

\int x e^{- 0.4 x} d x

\int sin^{4} (t) cos^{3} (t) d t

\int \frac{36 - x ^{2}}{x ^{4}} d x

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