Question:

If
\[ \int x \log\left(1 + \frac{1}{x}\right) \, dx = f(x) \log(x+1) + g(x) x^2 + Lx + C, \]
then

Show Hint

Look at the coefficient of the logarithmic term after integration.

  • \(f(x)=\dfrac12x^2\)
  • \(g(x)=\log x\)
  • \(L=1\)
  • None of these

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Integrating by parts,
\[ \int x \log\left(1 + \frac{1}{x}\right) \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2} \log\left(1 + \frac{1}{x}\right) + \cdots \]
Thus \(f(x) = \frac{1}{2} x^2\).
