NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.5 Question 23
Evaluate \(\int \frac{1}{x \left(x^{2} + 1\right)}\, dx\).
💡 Concept Hints
- Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
- Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: A: \(- \frac{\log{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}}{2} + \log{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}\) + C.
- Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
- Decompose 1/[x(x²+1)]=1/x−x/(x²+1).
- An antiderivative is F(x)=\(- \frac{\log{\left(x^{2} + 1 \right)}}{2} + \log{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}\).
- Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\frac{1}{x \left(x^{2} + 1\right)}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
