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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

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

\int \frac{1}{x} d x = ln ∣ x ∣

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

= ln ∣ x ∣ - \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

\int \frac{3 x + 3}{x ^{2} + 7 x + 12} d x

\int (tan (x))^{8} (sec (x))^{2} d x

\int (x + 1) x + 2 d x

\int x (x + 3)^{4} d x
