∫(x^2+1)/(x+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Might not be an elementary function.

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

ok...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What class is this?

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

rational

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I wonder if you try \(u = x+1\)

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

du would just = dx that wouldn't work

zepdrix (zepdrix):

I would start with Polynomial Long Division. I think it'll work out nicely from there.

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

is that because the exponent in the numerator is less than the denominator?

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

sorry its more than the denominator...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x^2+1\) has roots \(\pm i\)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yes.

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

alright let me try this...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you're not going to factor it. I think the \(u\) might be best.

OpenStudy (mkmkasim):

alright i think i messed up on the long devision...
