Math Problem Statement

∫ x 2 +1 2x ​

Solution

It seems like you're trying to compute the integral of the expression:

x2+12xdx\int \frac{x^2 + 1}{2x} \, dx

To simplify this expression, we can break it into two parts:

x2+12x=x22x+12x\frac{x^2 + 1}{2x} = \frac{x^2}{2x} + \frac{1}{2x}

Now simplify each term:

x22x=x2and12x=12x\frac{x^2}{2x} = \frac{x}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{2x} = \frac{1}{2x}

Thus, the integral becomes:

(x2+12x)dx\int \left( \frac{x}{2} + \frac{1}{2x} \right) \, dx

Now, integrate each term separately:

x2dx=12x22=x24\int \frac{x}{2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{x^2}{2} = \frac{x^2}{4}

12xdx=12lnx\int \frac{1}{2x} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \ln|x|

Therefore, the integral is:

x2+12xdx=x24+12lnx+C\int \frac{x^2 + 1}{2x} \, dx = \frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \ln|x| + C

where CC is the constant of integration.
