To solve the given integral:

$\int x^2 \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) dx,$

we'll employ techniques involving substitution and integration by parts. Let’s analyze the integral step by step.

Step 1: Simplify the logarithmic term

The argument of the logarithm is $\frac{1+x}{1-x}$. Let: $u = \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right).$

For this function, its derivative is: $\frac{d}{dx}\ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \ln(1+x) - \ln(1-x) \right].$

Differentiating gives: $\frac{1}{1+x} + \frac{1}{1-x} = \frac{2}{1-x^2}.$

Thus: $\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{2}{1-x^2}.$

Step 2: Break down the integral

The integral now becomes: $\int x^2 \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) dx.$

We will use integration by parts, where: $\int v w' dx = vw - \int v' w dx.$

Let:

• $v = \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right)$, so $dv = \frac{2}{1-x^2} dx$,
• $w' = x^2$, so $w = \frac{x^3}{3}$.

Step 3: Apply integration by parts

Using the formula: $\int v w' dx = vw - \int v' w dx,$ we get: $\int x^2 \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) dx = \frac{x^3}{3} \ln\left(\frac{1+x}{1-x}\right) - \int \frac{x^3}{3} \cdot \frac{2}{1-x^2} dx.$

Step 4: Simplify the remaining integral

The second term involves: $\int \frac{x^3}{1-x^2} dx.$

This simplifies to: $\int \frac{x^3}{1-x^2} dx = \int \frac{-x}{x^2-1} dx.$

Here, use the substitution $u = x^2 - 1$, so $du = 2x dx$. Rewrite the integral accordingly.
