Solution

The integral expression is given as,

I=∫dx(x+1)2x2+1

Consider

1(x+1)2x2+1=A(x+1)2+Bx2+1+Cx+Dx2+1

⇒1=Ax2+1+B(x+1)x2+1+(Cx+D)(x+1)2

Substitute x=-1,

A=12

Substitute x2=-1.

1=(Cx+D)x2+2x+1

⇒1=(Cx+D)2x

⇒1=-2C+2Dx

Substitute x=0,

-12=C, D=0

Comparing coefficient of x3,

0=B+C

⇒B=12

Now,

I=∫121(x+1)2+121x+1-12xx2+1dx

=12-1x+1+loge(x+1)-12logex2+1+C

=logex+1-12logex2+1-12(x+1)+C

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
