Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(e^x\left(\dfrac{x-1}{x+1}\right)+C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The integral is of the form \(\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x f(x) + C\). We rewrite the integrand as follows: \(\dfrac{x^2 + 1}{(x + 1)^2} = \dfrac{x^2 - 1 + 2}{(x + 1)^2} = \dfrac{(x - 1)(x + 1) + 2}{(x + 1)^2} = \dfrac{x - 1}{x + 1} + \dfrac{2}{(x + 1)^2}\) Let…
