Question
Evaluate: $\int\frac{2}{\text{(1-x)(1+x)}^{2}}\text{dx}$

Answer

$\frac{2}{\text{(1-x)}\text{(1+x}^{2})}=\frac{\text{A}}{\text{1-x}}+\frac{\text{Bx+C}}{\text{1+x}^{2}}$
$2 = A(1 + x^2) + (Bx + C) (1 – x)$
$\Rightarrow  0 = A – B, B – C = 0, A + C = 2  \Rightarrow A = B = C = 1$
$\therefore\int\frac{2}{\text{(1-x)(1+x}^{2})}\text{dx}=\int\frac{1}{\text{1-x}}\text{dx}+\frac{\text{x+1}}{\text{x}^{2}+{1}}\text{dx}$
$= – \log |1 – x| +  \frac{1}{2}  \log (x^2 + 1) + \tan^{-1} x + c.$
