Options:
  • A \(\log \left[x\left(x^2+1\right)\right]+c\)
  • B \(\log |x|+c\)
  • C \(\log |x|+2 \tan ^{-1}(x)+c\)
  • D \(2 \log |x|+\tan ^{-1}(x)+c\)

The correct answer is: \(\log |x|+2 \tan ^{-1}(x)+c\)
\(\begin{aligned}
I & =\int \frac{(x+1)^2}{x\left(x^2+1\right)} d x=\int \frac{\left(x^2+1\right)+2 x}{x\left(x^2+1\right)} d x \\
& =\int \frac{1}{x} d x+2 \int \frac{d x}{x^2+1}=\log _e|x|+2 \tan ^{-1} x+C
\end{aligned}\)
Hence, option (c) is correct.
