Grade 11Integral Calculus

Plz solve this integration..............

∫ ((√((x)^2+x+1))/(x+1)) dx

Sir in this,

x2+x+1 = (x+1)2 - x

where x+1 is replaced by t

then we get

((v((t)^2-(t-1)))/t) dt right; then how to proceed sir.....

where 'v' represents sq.rt

Ans:
I = \int \frac{\sqrt{x^{2}+x+1}}{x+1}dx
I = \int \frac{\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{2})^{2}+\frac{3}{4}}}{x+1}dx
u = x + \frac{1}{2}
du = dx
I = \int \frac{\sqrt{(u)^{2}+\frac{3}{4}}}{u+\frac{1}{2}}du
u = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}tan(s)
du = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}sec^{2}(s).ds
I = \frac{3}{4}\int \frac{sec^{3}(s)}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}tan(s)+\frac{1}{2}}ds
t = tan (\frac{s}{2})
dt = \frac{1}{2}sec^{2} (\frac{s}{2}).ds
I = 3\int \frac{(p^{2}+1)^{2}}{(p^{2}-1)^{2}.(-p^{2}+2\sqrt{3}p+1)}dp
Use simply partial fraction rule here, you will get
I = \sqrt{x^{2}+x+1}-log(2 \sqrt{x^{2}+x+1}-(x-1))+log(x+1)-\frac{1}{2}sinh^{-1}(\frac{2x+1}{\sqrt{3}}) + c
