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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int 1 d x = x

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

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{1}{9 x + 8} d x

\int 36 x^{2} (216 x^{3} + 1)^{12} d x

\int \frac{3 x + 8}{x ^{2} + 6 x + 14} d x

\int x^{5} ln (4 x^{3}) d x

\int 5 x + 4 d x
