Answer

$\ln|2t+1|-\ln|t+1|+C$

Work Step by Step

Partial fractons method. $2t^{2}+3t+1=2t^{2}+2t+t+1=2t(t+1)+(t+1)=(t+1)(2t+1)$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2t^{2}+3t+1}=\frac{A}{t+1}+\frac{B}{2t+1}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2t^{2}+3t+1}=\frac{A(2t+1)+B(t+1)}{(t+1)(2t+1)}$ $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2t^{2}+3t+1}=\frac{(2A+B)t+(A+B)}{t+1}\Rightarrow\left\{\begin{array}{ll} A+B=1 & (1)\\ 2A+B=0 & (2) \end{array}\right.$ $(2)-(1)\Rightarrow A=-1,$ $(1)\Rightarrow B=2$ $\displaystyle \int\frac{dt}{2t^{2}+3t+1}=-\int\frac{dt}{t+1}+\int\frac{2dt}{2t+1}$ $=-\displaystyle \ln|t+1|+2\cdot\frac{1}{2}\ln|2t+1|+C$ $=\ln|2t+1|-\ln|t+1|+C$
