    A primitive of \[\frac{x}{{{x}^{2}}+1}\] is              [SCRA 1996]

    A)            \[{{\log }_{e}}({{x}^{2}}+1)\]

    B)            \[x{{\tan }^{-1}}x\]

    C)            \[\frac{{{\log }_{e}}({{x}^{2}}+1)}{2}\]

    D)            \[\frac{1}{2}x{{\tan }^{-1}}x\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

               \[f(x)=\frac{x}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\],  \[\therefore \,\,\,I=\int_{{}}^{{}}{f(x)}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{x}{1+{{x}^{2}}}\,dx}\]            Put \[1+{{x}^{2}}=t\Rightarrow 2x\,dx=dt\Rightarrow x\,dx=dt/2\]            \[\therefore \,\,\,I=\frac{1}{2}\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dt}{t}=\frac{1}{2}\log t+c}\];  \[I=\frac{1}{2}\log (1+{{x}^{2}})+c\].
