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

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

ln ∣ x ∣ - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{1}{x ( 1 + x )} : \frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{x + 1}

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

\int \frac{1}{x + 1} d x = ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

= ln ∣ x ∣ - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= ln ∣ x ∣ - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

\int \frac{5 e ^{5 t}}{7 + e ^{5 t}} d t

\frac{\partial}{\partial x} (3 x + 2 y sin (x))

\frac{d}{d x} (6^{x} lo g_{3} (x))

y = (6 x^{2} - 10 x + 1)^{- 4}

\int [\frac{( sin ( x ) )}{x}] d x
