integral of (3x^2)/((x^2+1)(x+1))

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Take the partial fraction of

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{x - 1}{2 ( x ^{2} + 1 )} + \frac{1}{2 ( x + 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

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

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

\int \frac{1}{2 ( x + 1 )} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

= 3 (\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1 - arctan (x)) + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣)

Add a constant to the solution

= 3 (\frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 1 - arctan (x)) + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ x + 1 ∣) + C
