Answer

\[I=\tan^{-1}(x+1)+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{1}{x^2+2x+2}dx\] \[I=\int\frac{1}{(x+1)^2+1}dx\] Put $\;t=x+1$ ___(1) $\Rightarrow dt=dx$ \[I=\int\frac{1}{t^2+1}dt\] We will use the formula \[\int\frac{1}{x^2+a^2}=\frac{1}{a}\tan^{-1}\frac{x}{a}\;\;\;...(2)\] By using (2) \[I=\tan^{-1}\frac{t}{1}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration By using (1) \[I=\tan^{-1}(x+1)+C\] Hence \[I=\tan^{-1}(x+1)+C\;\;.\]
