Find the antiderivative of the function f(x)=(x+1)/(x^2+2x) .

We'll determine the indefinite integral of the given
function:


Int f(x)dx = Int
(x+1)dx/(x^2+2x)


We notice that if we'll differentiate the
denominator of the function, we'll get the numerator multiplied by
2.


We'll substitute the denominator by
t.


x^2+2x = t


We'll
differentiate both sides:


(2x + 2)dx =
dt


We'll divide by 2:


(x +
1)dx = dt/2


We'll re-write the integral in
t:


Int f(x)dx = Int dt/2t = (1/2)*ln |t| +
C


Int f(x)dx = (1/2)*ln |x^2+2x| +
C


Int f(x)dx = ln sqrt (x^2+2x) +
C

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
