If \(\int \frac{d x}{x^2+2 x+2}=f(x)+c\), then \(f(x)\) is equal to :

  1. A \(\tan ^{-1}(x+1)\)
  2. B \(2 \tan ^{-1}(x+1)\)
  3. C \(-\tan ^{-1}(x+1)\)
  4. D \(3 \tan ^{-1}(x+1)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\tan ^{-1}(x+1)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(I=\int \frac{d x}{x^2+2 x+2}\) \(=\int \frac{d x}{x^2+2 x+1+1}=\int \frac{d x}{1+(x+1)^2}\) \(=\tan ^{-1}(x+1)+c\) But \(I=f(x)+c\) \(\therefore \quad f(x)=\tan ^{-1}(x+1)\)
