Question:

$\int \frac{x e^x}{(x+1)^2} d x=$

Options:

$\frac{e^x}{x+1}+c$

$\frac{e^x}{x-1}+c$

$\frac{x}{x+1}+c$

$\frac{x}{x-1}+c$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{e^x}{x+1}+c$

Explanation:

$\int \frac{x e^x}{(x+1)^2} d x=\int e^x\left(\frac{(x+1)}{(x+1)^2}-\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}\right) d x$

$=\int e^x [\underbrace{\frac{1}{(x+1)}}_{f(x)}-\underbrace{\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}}_{f'(x)} ] d x$

it of the form f(x)

so  $\int e^x (f(x) + f'(x) dx = e^x f(x) + c$

$=\frac{e^x}{x+1}+c$
