MCQ
The value of the integral $\int_0^{\infty} \frac{ dx }{\left(1+ x ^2\right)(1+ x )^2}$ is
- A$\frac{1}{4}$
- ✓$\frac{1}{2}$
- C$\frac{3}{4}$
- D$\infty$
Put $x =\tan \theta$
$dx =\sec ^2 \theta d \theta$
$I=\int \limits_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sec ^2 \theta}{\left(1+\tan ^2 \theta\right)(1+\tan \theta)^2} d \theta$
$=\int \limits_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\cos ^2 \theta}{(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2} d \theta$
$I+I=\int \limits_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{d \theta}{(\sin \theta+\cos \theta)^2}$
$=\int \limits_0^{\pi / 2} \frac{\sec ^2 \theta}{(\tan \theta+1)^2} d \theta$
$=-\left.\frac{1}{(1+\tan \theta)}\right|_0 ^{\frac{\pi}{2}}=1$
$\Rightarrow I =\frac{1}{2}$
