Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The integral to solve is ∫ex(1−x1+x2)2dx\int e^x \left(\frac{1-x}{1+x^2}\right)^2 dx

For integrals with exe^x, the formula ∫ex[f(x)+f′(x)]dx=ex⋅f(x)+C\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx = e^x \cdot f(x) + C can be applied.


Expanding the square:

(1−x1+x2)2=(1−x)2(1+x2)2\left(\frac{1-x}{1+x^2}\right)^2 = \frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x^2)^2}

The integral becomes:

∫ex⋅(1−x)2(1+x2)2dx\int e^x \cdot \frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x^2)^2} dx


Let f(x)=11+x2f(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}

Finding the derivative:

f′(x)=−2x(1+x2)2f'(x) = \frac{-2x}{(1+x^2)^2}


Adding f(x)f(x) and f′(x)f'(x):

f(x)+f′(x)=11+x2+−2x(1+x2)2f(x) + f'(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2} + \frac{-2x}{(1+x^2)^2}

=(1+x2)(1+x2)2+−2x(1+x2)2= \frac{(1+x^2)}{(1+x^2)^2} + \frac{-2x}{(1+x^2)^2}

=1+x2−2x(1+x2)2= \frac{1+x^2-2x}{(1+x^2)^2}

=1−2x+x2(1+x2)2= \frac{1-2x+x^2}{(1+x^2)^2}

=(1−x)2(1+x2)2= \frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x^2)^2}

This matches the integrand.


Since (1−x)2(1+x2)2=f(x)+f′(x)\frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x^2)^2} = f(x) + f'(x) where f(x)=11+x2f(x) = \frac{1}{1+x^2}:

∫ex[(1−x)2(1+x2)2]dx=ex⋅f(x)+C\int e^x \left[\frac{(1-x)^2}{(1+x^2)^2}\right] dx = e^x \cdot f(x) + C

=ex1+x2+C= \frac{e^x}{1+x^2} + C
