Question
$\int \frac{d x}{x\left(x^{2}+1\right)}$ equals
✓
Answer
Let $\frac{1}{x\left(x^{2}+1\right)}=\frac{A}{x}+\frac{B x+C}{x^{2}+1}$ 1 = A(X2 + 1) + (Bx + C)x = Ax2 + A + Bx2 + Cx = (A + B)x2 +Cx + A Equating the coefficients of x2, x and constant term, we get, A + B = 0 C = 0 A = 1 On solving these equations, we get, A = 1, B = -1 and C = 0 Therefore, $\frac{1}{x\left(x^{2}+1\right)}=\frac{1}{x}+\frac{-x}{x^{2}+1}$ $\int \frac{1}{x\left(x^{2}+1\right)}=\int\left\{\frac{1}{x}+\frac{-x}{x^{2}+1}\right\} d x$ = $\log |x|-\frac{1}{2} \log \left|x^{2}+1\right|+C$
