The integral expression is given as, I=∫(x+1)2(x2+1)dx Consider (x+1)2(x2+1)1=(x+1)2A+(x2+1)B+x2+1Cx+D1=A(x2+1)+B(x+1)(x2+1)+(Cx+D)(x+1)2 Substitute x=−1A=21 Substitute x2=−11=(Cx+D)(x2+2x+1)1=(Cx+D)2x1=−2C+2Dx Substitute x=0−21=C,D=0 Comparing coefficient of x30=B+CB=21 Now I=∫[21(x+1)21+21x+11−21x2+1x]dx=21[−x+11+log(x+1)−21log(x2+1)]+c=logx+1−21logx2+1−2(x+1)1+c
