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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{u}

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{u})

Substitute back

u = x + 1

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

\int sin^{2} (m x) cos^{2} (m x) d x

\int (3 x + 5)^{9} d x

\int \frac{x ^{6}}{( 3 + x ^{7} ) ^{2}} d x
