integral of x/(x+1)

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

x + 1 - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{u - 1}{u} d u

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

Expand

\frac{u - 1}{u} : 1 - \frac{1}{u}

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

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln ∣ u ∣

= u - ln ∣ u ∣

Substitute back

u = x + 1

= x + 1 - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣

Add a constant to the solution

= x + 1 - ln ∣ x + 1 ∣ + C

\int_{- 2}^{2} ln (x + 3) d x

\int 2 x e^{17 x} d x

\frac{\partial}{\partial s} (r^{2} + s^{2})

n = 5 \sum \infty tan (\frac{1}{n})

\frac{d}{d x} (2 x - 2 sin (x))
