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

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

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 x + 2 - 2 arctan (x + 1) + C

Solution steps

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

Complete the square

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

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u - 2}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

= \int \frac{u - 2}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Expand

\frac{u - 2}{u ^{2} + 1} : \frac{u}{u ^{2} + 1} - \frac{2}{u ^{2} + 1}

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{u}{u ^{2} + 1} d u - \int \frac{2}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

\int \frac{u}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = \frac{1}{2} ln u^{2} + 1

\int \frac{2}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = 2 arctan (u)

= \frac{1}{2} ln u^{2} + 1 - 2 arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = x + 1

= \frac{1}{2} ln (x + 1)^{2} + 1 - 2 arctan (x + 1)

Simplify

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

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 x + 2 - 2 arctan (x + 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 2 x + 2 - 2 arctan (x + 1) + C

\int - sin (4 x) d x

\int 2 x \cdot ln^{2} (x) d x

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

\int \frac{1}{4 x ^{2} + 8 x + 9} d x

\int tan^{2} (6 x) sec^{3} (6 x) d x
