Find: $\int \frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x+2)\left(x^{2}+1\right)} d x$
✓
Answer
Let, $I=\int \frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x+2)\left(x^{2}+1\right)} d x$ By partial fractions $\frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x+2)\left(x^{2}+1\right)}=\frac{A}{x+2}+\frac{B x+C}{x^{2}+1}$ x2 + x + 1 = A(x2 + 1) + Bx + C(x + 2) =Ax2 + A + Bx2 + 2Bx + Cx + 2Cx2 + x + 1 = x2(A + B) + x(2B + C) + A + 2C On comparing coefficients of equation (i), we get 1 = A + B and 1 = 2B + C On solving above three equations, we get $A=\frac{3}{5}$, $ B=\frac{2}{5} $ and $C=\frac{1}{5}$ Hence, $\frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x+2)\left(x^{2}+1\right)}=\frac{3}{5(x+2)}+\frac{\frac{2}{5} x+\frac{1}{5}}{x^{2}+1}$ Therefore, $\int \frac{\left(x^{2}+x+1\right) d x}{(x+2)\left(x^{2}+1\right)}=\frac{3}{5} \int \frac{1}{x+2} d x+\frac{2}{5} \int \frac{x}{x^{2}+1} d x +\frac{1}{5} \int \frac{1}{\left(x^{2}+1\right)} d x$ = $\frac{3}{5} \log |x+2|+\frac{1}{5} \int \frac{2 x}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{1}{5} \int \frac{d x}{x^{2}+1}$ = $\frac{3}{5} \log |x+2|+\frac{1}{5} \log \left|x^{2}+1\right|+\frac{1}{5} \tan ^{-1} x+c$
