By the same method of the previous integral of √ 1+ x2 we can go further for any integral of

2 n
( √1+ x ) withn odd .
3
Therefore, let’s work the integral of ( 1+ x 2 ) 2 :

3 1
Starting with the obvious guess: x ( 1+ x 2 ) 2 and the extra term 3 x 2 ( 1+ x 2 ) 2 .

1
We can add and subtract 3 ( 1+ x 2 ) 2 to get

1 1
2 2 2 2 2
3 ( 1+ x )( 1+ x ) −3 ( 1+ x )
3 1
2 2 2 2
3 ( 1+ x ) −3 ( 1+ x )

We already have ∫ √1+ x 2 dx =¿ 1/2 x √1+ x 2+ ¿ ¿ + 2 ln|√ 1+ x 2+ x|
At the end, we have

2 2 2 2 2 +3 2
∫ ( 1+ x ) dx=¿ ¿ x ( 1+ x ) −3 ∫ ( 1+ x ) dx+3 /2 x √1+ x + 2 ln|√ 1+ x + x|

Moving the similar term to the left and combining it with the original term

That is
