Answer

$\displaystyle \arctan x-\frac{1}{2(x^{2}+1)}+C$

Work Step by Step

$ I=\displaystyle \int\frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}dx$ $ \displaystyle \frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}=\frac{Ax+B}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{Cx+D}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}$ $x^{2}+x+1=(Ax+B)(x^{2}+1)+Cx+D$ $x^{2}+x+1=Ax^{3}+Ax+Bx^{2}+B+Cx+D$ $x^{2}+x+1=Ax^{3}+Bx^{2}+x(A+C)+(B+D)$ $A=0, B=1$ $A+C=1\Rightarrow C=1$ $B+D=1\Rightarrow D=0$ $ \displaystyle \frac{x^{2}+x+1}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}=\frac{1}{x^{2}+1}+\frac{x}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}$ $\displaystyle \int\frac{x}{(x^{2}+1)^{2}}dx=\left[\begin{array}{l} t=x^{2}+1\\ dt=2xdx \end{array}\right]=\frac{1}{2}\int t^{-2}dt$ $=-\displaystyle \frac{1}{2t}=-\frac{1}{2(x^{2}+1)}$ $I=\displaystyle \arctan x-\frac{1}{2(x^{2}+1)}+C$
