So the question is to evaluate the integral of (x+1)/(x(x^2+1)) dx
I broke up it into A/(x) + (Bx+C)/(x^2+1)
Did the whole shabang and got 1/2 ln(x^2+1) +arctanx + C but this was marked wrong on my test. Can someone tell me what the real answer is and if I broke up the partial fractions wrong. Oh and I got the values of A=0, B=1, C=1 when solving the linear equations.
THank you if you could help me find my mistake or tell me what the right answer would have been.
