Rewrite in terms of x: Rewrite the integral in terms of x to simplify the integration process.I=∫(xx+1)dxI=∫(xx+x1)dxI=∫(x21+x−21)dx
Integrate each term: Integrate each term separately.I=∫x21dx+∫x−21dx
Apply power rule: Apply the power rule for integration to each term.I=32x23+2x21+C, where C is the constant of integration.
Check by differentiation: Check the result by differentiating it to see if we get the original integrand.dxd[32x23+2x21]=32⋅23x21+2⋅21x−21dxd[32x23+2x21]=x21+x−21dxd[32x23+2x21]=xx+1The differentiation gives us the original integrand, so there is no math error.
