Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Integration by Parts: udv=uvvdu\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du
  • Substitution: f(g(x))g(x)dx=f(u)du\int f(g(x))g'(x) \, dx = \int f(u) \, du, where u=g(x)u = g(x) and du=g(x)dxdu = g'(x) \, dx
  • Form of Integral: ex[f(x)+f(x)]dx=exf(x)+C\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] \, dx = e^x f(x) + C

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Rewrite the integrand. We begin by expanding the numerator of the integrand: \int {{{\left\{ {{{\left( {\log x - 1} \right)} \over {1 + {{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}}}} \right\}}^2}\,\,dx} = \int {{{{{\left( {\log x - 1} \right)}^2}} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} dx = \int {{{{{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2} - 2\log x + 1} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} dx

Step 2: Separate the fraction into two terms. Separate the fraction to make it easier to integrate: \int {{{{{\left( {\log x \right)}^2} - 2\log x + 1} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} dx = \int {{{1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2} - 2\log x} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} dx = \int {\left[ {{{1 + {{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}} - {{2\log x} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right]} dx = \int {\left[ {{1 \over {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}}} - {{2\log x} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right]} dx

Step 3: Perform a substitution. Let t=logxt = \log x. Then, x=etx = e^t and dx=etdtdx = e^t \, dt. Substitute these into the integral: \int {\left[ {{1 \over {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}}} - {{2\log x} \over {{{\left( {1 + {{\left( {\log x \right)}^2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right]} dx = \int {\left[ {{1 \over {1 + {t^2}}} - {{2t} \over {{{\left( {1 + {t^2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right]} {e^t}\,dt =et[11+t22t(1+t2)2]dt= \int {{e^t}\left[ {{1 \over {1 + {t^2}}} - {{2t} \over {{{\left( {1 + {t^2}} \right)}^2}}}} \right]} dt

Step 4: Recognize the form ex[f(x)+f(x)]dx\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] dx We can observe that the integral is in the form et[f(t)+f(t)]dt\int e^t [f(t) + f'(t)] \, dt, where f(t)=11+t2f(t) = \frac{1}{1+t^2}. Let's find its derivative: f(t)=ddt(11+t2)=2t(1+t2)2f'(t) = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{1}{1+t^2} \right) = \frac{-2t}{(1+t^2)^2} So, the integral becomes: et[11+t2+2t(1+t2)2]dt=et[f(t)+f(t)]dt=etf(t)+C=et(11+t2)+C\int {{e^t}\left[ {{1 \over {1 + {t^2}}} + \frac{-2t}{{{\left( {1 + {t^2}} \right)}^2}}} \right]} dt = \int e^t [f(t) + f'(t)] \, dt = e^t f(t) + C = e^t \left( \frac{1}{1+t^2} \right) + C

Step 5: Substitute back to the original variable. Substitute t=logxt = \log x back into the expression: et(11+t2)+C=x(11+(logx)2)+C=x1+(logx)2+Ce^t \left( \frac{1}{1+t^2} \right) + C = x \left( \frac{1}{1+(\log x)^2} \right) + C = \frac{x}{1+(\log x)^2} + C

Step 6: Verify the given correct answer. The given correct answer is logx1+(logx)2+C\frac{\log x}{1 + (\log x)^2} + C. There seems to be an error in the provided answer. Let's take derivative of logx1+(logx)2\frac{\log x}{1 + (\log x)^2}. ddx(logx1+(logx)2)=1x(1+(logx)2)logx2(logx)1x(1+(logx)2)2=1x(1+(logx)22(logx)2)(1+(logx)2)2=1x1(logx)2(1+(logx)2)2\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{\log x}{1 + (\log x)^2}\right) = \frac{\frac{1}{x}(1 + (\log x)^2) - \log x \cdot 2 (\log x) \cdot \frac{1}{x}}{(1 + (\log x)^2)^2} = \frac{\frac{1}{x}(1 + (\log x)^2 - 2(\log x)^2)}{(1 + (\log x)^2)^2} = \frac{1}{x}\frac{1 - (\log x)^2}{(1 + (\log x)^2)^2} =1x1(logx)2(1+(logx)2)2=1(logx)2x(1+(logx)2)2= \frac{1}{x}\frac{1 - (\log x)^2}{(1 + (\log x)^2)^2} = \frac{1 - (\log x)^2}{x(1 + (\log x)^2)^2} This is not equal to the integrand, so the provided correct answer is incorrect.

Let's consider option (D): x(logx)2+1+C\frac{x}{(\log x)^2 + 1} + C. Taking its derivative: ddx(x(logx)2+1)=1((logx)2+1)x2(logx)1x((logx)2+1)2=(logx)2+12logx((logx)2+1)2=(logx1)2((logx)2+1)2\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x}{(\log x)^2 + 1} \right) = \frac{1 \cdot ((\log x)^2 + 1) - x \cdot 2(\log x)\cdot \frac{1}{x}}{((\log x)^2 + 1)^2} = \frac{(\log x)^2 + 1 - 2\log x}{((\log x)^2 + 1)^2} = \frac{(\log x - 1)^2}{((\log x)^2 + 1)^2} Thus, {(logx1)1+(logx)2}2dx=x(logx)2+1+C\int {{{\left\{ {{{\left( {\log x - 1} \right)} \over {1 + {{\left( {\log x} \right)}^2}}}} \right\}}^2}\,\,dx} = \frac{x}{(\log x)^2 + 1} + C

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Remember to substitute back to the original variable after integration.
  • Recognizing the form ex[f(x)+f(x)]dx\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] \, dx can simplify the integration process.
  • Be careful when differentiating and integrating logarithmic functions.

Summary We simplified the given integral by expanding the numerator, separating the fraction, and performing a substitution. This allowed us to identify the form ex[f(x)+f(x)]dx\int e^x [f(x) + f'(x)] \, dx, which simplifies the integration. After substituting back to the original variable, we obtained the result x1+(logx)2+C\frac{x}{1+(\log x)^2} + C.

Final Answer The final answer is \boxed{\frac{x}{(\log x)^2 + 1}}, which corresponds to option (D).
