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

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

2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{x + 1} + C

Solution steps

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

Expand

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

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

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

= 2 (ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{x + 1}) - \frac{3}{x + 1}

Simplify

2 (ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + \frac{1}{x + 1}) - \frac{3}{x + 1} : 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{x + 1}

= 2 ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ - \frac{1}{x + 1}

Add a constant to the solution

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