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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Expand

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

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

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

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

\int 2 d u = 2 u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{u ^{2}}{2} - 2 u + ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x + 1

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

d er i v a t i v e 8 e^{x}

\frac{d}{d x} (9 e^{x} + \frac{8}{3 x})

\frac{d}{d t} (10 t e^{- 5 t})
