how to do intergration of $${\frac{{\mathtt{2}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}{\mathtt{x}}}{\left({{\mathtt{x}}}^{{\mathtt{2}}}{\mathtt{\,\small\textbf+\,}}{\mathtt{1}}\right)}}$$
Both product and quotient rule are for differentiating a product. It just happens that the "product" involves a factor in the denominator when using the quotient rule.
In fact, I never bother trying to remember the quotient rule. I just use the product rule combined with the chain rule to differentiate a quotient. So, for example I would differentiate y = u/v as follows
y = u*v-1
dy/dx = u*d(v-1)/dx + v-1*du/dx
dy/dx = u*d(v-1)/dv*dv/dx + v-1*du/dx
dy/dx = -(uv-2)*dv/dx + v-1*du/dx
dy/dx = -(u/v2)*dv/dx +(1/v)*du/dx
Of course this can be rearranged to look like the standard quotient formula, but I find it easier just to apply the steps above directly to the specific functions involved!
It can be done more simply Stu.
Let y = x2 + 1
Then dy = 2xdx
∫2x/(x2+1)dx = ∫dy/y = ln(y) = ln(x2 + 1) (plus an arbitrary constant of integration of course).
Alan would it be a product rule or quotient rule? One is for integral and one for derivatives, opposites to each other?
i was going to go with substitution method haha, i still get confused by making the term dy but a little ok i guess. would the product rule have worked or not worked?
