Answer

\[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln |x^2+1|+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{x}{x^2+1}dx\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{2x}{x^2+1}dx\] Let $t=x^2+1$ ___(1) $\Rightarrow dt=2xdx$ \[I=\frac{1}{2}\int\frac{1}{t}dt\] \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln |t|+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration From (1) \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln |x^2+1|+C\] Hence, \[I=\frac{1}{2}\ln |x^2+1|+C\]
