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

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

\frac{1}{1 + x} + C

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{u}

= - (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = 1 + x

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

Simplify

= \frac{1}{1 + x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{1 + x} + C

\int e^{a \cdot x} d x

\int \frac{3 x ^{2} - 5 x + 1}{2 x + 1} d x

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

\int 4 cos (t) sin (t) d t

\int \frac{1}{( x ^{2} + 2 ) ^{3}} d x
