Answer

$$\left(x^{2}+1\right) \ln \left(x^{2}+1\right)-\left(x^{2}+1\right)+c$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\int 2 x \ln \left(x^{2}+1\right) d x$$ Let $u=x^2+1\ \to\ \ du=2xdx$, so: \begin{align*} \int 2 x \ln \left(x^{2}+1\right) d x&=\int \ln \left(u\right) du \end{align*} Apply the Natural Log Rule for antiderivatives: $$ \int \ln u d u=u \ln u-u+c $$ Thus: \begin{align*} \int 2 x \ln \left(x^{2}+1\right) d x&=\int \ln \left(u\right) du \\ &=u \ln u-u+c\\ &=\left(x^{2}+1\right) \ln \left(x^{2}+1\right)-\left(x^{2}+1\right)+c \end{align*}
