Answer

$$ f(x)=\frac{2 x^{2}+5}{x^{2}+1} $$ The general anti-derivative of the function $f(x)$ is given by: $$ \begin{aligned} F(x) &= \int f(x)dx \\ &=2 x+3 \tan ^{-1} x+C \end{aligned} $$ where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.

Work Step by Step

$$ f(x)=\frac{2 x^{2}+5}{x^{2}+1} $$ To find general antiderivative of the function $f(x) $ . First rewrite $f(x) $ as follows : $$ f(x)=\frac{2 x^{2}+5}{x^{2}+1}=\frac{2\left(x^{2}+1\right)+3}{x^{2}+1}=2+\frac{3}{x^{2}+1} $$ So, the general anti-derivative of the function $f(x)$ is given by: $$ \begin{aligned} F(x) &= \int f(x)dx \\ &=\int \left( 2+\frac{3}{x^{2}+1}\right) dx\\ &=2 x+3 \tan ^{-1} x+C \end{aligned} $$ where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.
