integral of x/(x+1)

integral

\frac{x}{x + 1}

x + 1 - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u - 1}{u} d u

= \int \frac{u - 1}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u - 1}{u} : 1 - \frac{1}{u}

= \int 1 - \frac{1}{u} d u

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 u - \int \frac{1}{u} d u

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= u - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x + 1

= x + 1 - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= x + 1 - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

\int cos (6 x) cos (9 x) d x

\int t ln (t^{2}) d t

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

\int \frac{1}{( 16 + x ^{2} ) ^{4}} d x

\int \frac{x - 4}{x ^{3} + x ^{2} - 2 x} d x
