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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Complete the square

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

: - \frac{1}{u}

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

Substitute back

u = x + 1

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

\int 4 + 2 x d x

\int x^{1000} ln (x) d x

\int \frac{( 2 x ^{3} + 8 x )}{x ^{2} + 4} d x
