    \[\int{\frac{x\,\,dx}{{{x}^{2}}+4x+5}=}\]                [RPET 2002]

    A)                 \[\frac{1}{2}\log ({{x}^{2}}+4x+5)+2{{\tan }^{-1}}(x)+c\]

    B)                 \[\frac{1}{2}\log ({{x}^{2}}+4x+5)-{{\tan }^{-1}}(x+2)+c\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{2}\log ({{x}^{2}}+4x+5)+{{\tan }^{-1}}(x+2)+c\]

    D)                 \[\frac{1}{2}\log ({{x}^{2}}+4x+5)-2{{\tan }^{-1}}(x+2)+c\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                       \[I=\int{\frac{x\,\,dx}{{{x}^{2}}+4x+5}}\]\[=\int{\frac{x+2-2\,\,}{{{(x+2)}^{2}}+1}dx}\]              \[=\frac{1}{2}\int{\frac{2(x+2)\,\,\,dx}{{{(x+2)}^{2}}+1}}-2\int{\frac{dx}{1+{{(x+2)}^{2}}}}\]              \[=\frac{1}{2}\int{\frac{dt}{t}-2\int{\frac{dx}{1+{{(x+2)}^{2}}}}}\]            [Put \[1+{{(x+2)}^{2}}=t\] in first expression Þ 2(x +2)dx = dt]              \[=\frac{1}{2}\log t-2{{\tan }^{-1}}(x+2)+c\]                   \[=\frac{1}{2}\log ({{x}^{2}}+4x+5)-2{{\tan }^{-1}}(x+2)+c\].
