What is the integral of 2/((x+1)^2) ?

The integral of 2/((x+1)^2) is -2/(x+1)+C

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

integral

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Apply the Power Rule

= 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

in t e g r a l e^{- x} cos^{2} (x)

in t e g r a l \frac{20000}{( x + 100 ) ^{3}}

in t e g r a l \frac{( x ^{3} - x - 2 )}{( 1 - x ^{2} )}

in t e g r a l x^{3} - 3 x^{2} + 5 x + 2

in t e g r a l (e^{- t}) \cdot (\frac{1}{t})
