Evaluate the following integrals:

Question:

Evaluate the following integrals:

$\int \frac{\log (x+2)}{(x+2)^{2}} d x$

Solution:

Let I $=\int \frac{\log (x+2)}{(x+2)^{2}} \mathrm{dx}$

$\frac{1}{x+2}=t$

$\frac{-1}{(x+2)^{2}} d x=d t$

$I=-\int \log \left(\frac{1}{t}\right) d t$

Using integration by parts,

$=-\int \log \mathrm{t}^{-1} \mathrm{dt}$

$=-\int 1 \times \log \mathrm{t}^{-1} \mathrm{dt}$

We know that, $\frac{d}{d t} \log t=\frac{1}{t}$ and $\int d t=t$

$\mathrm{I}=\log \mathrm{t} \int \mathrm{dt}-\int\left(\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{dt}} \log \mathrm{t} \int \mathrm{dt}\right) \mathrm{dt}$

$=\log \mathrm{t} \int \mathrm{dt}-\int\left(\frac{1}{\mathrm{t}} \int \mathrm{dt}\right) \mathrm{dt}$

$=\mathrm{t} \log \mathrm{t}-\int \frac{1}{\mathrm{t}} \times \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt}$

$=\operatorname{tlog} \mathrm{t}-\mathrm{t}+\mathrm{c}$

Replace the value of $t$,

$=\frac{1}{x+2}\left(\log (x+2)^{-1}-1\right)+c$

$=-\frac{1}{x+2}-\frac{\log (x+2)}{x+2}+c$
