Correct answer: C

  1. Given integral

We need to evaluate

I(x)=∫x+1x(1+xex)2 dx,x>0I(x)=\int \frac{x+1}{x(1+xe^x)^2}\,dx, \qquad x>0I(x)=∫x(1+xex)2x+1​dx,x>0

with the condition

lim⁡x→∞I(x)=0.\lim_{x\to\infty} I(x)=0.x→∞lim​I(x)=0.

Then find I(1)I(1)I(1).


  1. Look for a useful substitution / derivative pattern

Notice the expression xexxe^xxex appears. Let

u=xex.u = xe^x.u=xex.

Then

ddx(xex)=ex(x+1).\frac{d}{dx}(xe^x)=e^x(x+1).dxd​(xex)=ex(x+1).

Also,

x+1xe−x=ddx(xex)⋅1xe2x\frac{x+1}{x}e^{-x} = \frac{d}{dx}(xe^x)\cdot \frac{1}{x e^{2x}} xx+1​e−x=dxd​(xex)⋅xe2x1​

but a cleaner route is to rewrite the integrand as

x+1x(1+xex)2=(x+1)exxex(1+xex)2.\frac{x+1}{x(1+xe^x)^2} = \frac{(x+1)e^x}{xe^x(1+xe^x)^2}.x(1+xex)2x+1​=xex(1+xex)2(x+1)ex​.

Since

ddx(xex)=(x+1)ex,\frac{d}{dx}(xe^x)=(x+1)e^x,dxd​(xex)=(x+1)ex,

we get

I(x)=∫1u(1+u)2 du,where u=xex.I(x)=\int \frac{1}{u(1+u)^2}\,du, \qquad \text{where } u=xe^x.I(x)=∫u(1+u)21​du,where u=xex.
  1. Partial fraction decomposition

We decompose

1u(1+u)2.\frac{1}{u(1+u)^2}.u(1+u)21​.

Assume

1u(1+u)2=Au+B1+u+C(1+u)2.\frac{1}{u(1+u)^2}=\frac{A}{u}+\frac{B}{1+u}+\frac{C}{(1+u)^2}.u(1+u)21​=uA​+1+uB​+(1+u)2C​.

Then

1=A(1+u)2+Bu(1+u)+Cu.1=A(1+u)^2+Bu(1+u)+Cu.1=A(1+u)2+Bu(1+u)+Cu.

Expanding:

1=A(1+2u+u2)+B(u+u2)+Cu.1=A(1+2u+u^2)+B(u+u^2)+Cu.1=A(1+2u+u2)+B(u+u2)+Cu.

So,

1=A+(2A+B+C)u+(A+B)u2.1=A+(2A+B+C)u+(A+B)u^2.1=A+(2A+B+C)u+(A+B)u2.

Comparing coefficients:

A=1,A=1,A=1, A+B=0⇒B=−1,A+B=0 \Rightarrow B=-1,A+B=0⇒B=−1, 2A+B+C=0⇒2−1+C=0⇒C=−1.2A+B+C=0 \Rightarrow 2-1+C=0 \Rightarrow C=-1.2A+B+C=0⇒2−1+C=0⇒C=−1.

Thus,

1u(1+u)2=1u−11+u−1(1+u)2.\frac{1}{u(1+u)^2}=\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{1+u}-\frac{1}{(1+u)^2}.u(1+u)21​=u1​−1+u1​−(1+u)21​.

Therefore,

I(x)=∫(1u−11+u−1(1+u)2)du.I(x)=\int\left(\frac{1}{u}-\frac{1}{1+u}-\frac{1}{(1+u)^2}\right)du.I(x)=∫(u1​−1+u1​−(1+u)21​)du.

Integrating,

I(x)=ln⁡u−ln⁡(1+u)+11+u+C.I(x)=\ln u-\ln(1+u)+\frac{1}{1+u}+C.I(x)=lnu−ln(1+u)+1+u1​+C.

Substitute back u=xexu=xe^xu=xex:

I(x)=ln⁡(xex)−ln⁡(1+xex)+11+xex+C.I(x)=\ln(xe^x)-\ln(1+xe^x)+\frac{1}{1+xe^x}+C.I(x)=ln(xex)−ln(1+xex)+1+xex1​+C.

Since x>0x>0x>0, this is valid.

Also,

ln⁡(xex)=ln⁡x+x.\ln(xe^x)=\ln x + x.ln(xex)=lnx+x.

So,

I(x)=ln⁡x+x−ln⁡(1+xex)+11+xex+C.I(x)=\ln x + x - \ln(1+xe^x)+\frac{1}{1+xe^x}+C.I(x)=lnx+x−ln(1+xex)+1+xex1​+C.
  1. Use the condition lim⁡x→∞I(x)=0\lim_{x\to\infty} I(x)=0limx→∞​I(x)=0 to find CCC

As x→∞x\to\inftyx→∞,

1+xex∼xex.1+xe^x \sim xe^x.1+xex∼xex.

Hence,

ln⁡(1+xex)∼ln⁡(xex)=ln⁡x+x.\ln(1+xe^x) \sim \ln(xe^x)=\ln x + x.ln(1+xex)∼ln(xex)=lnx+x.

Therefore,

ln⁡x+x−ln⁡(1+xex)→0,\ln x + x - \ln(1+xe^x) \to 0,lnx+x−ln(1+xex)→0,

and also

11+xex→0.\frac{1}{1+xe^x}\to 0.1+xex1​→0.

So,

lim⁡x→∞I(x)=C.\lim_{x\to\infty} I(x)=C.x→∞lim​I(x)=C.

Given this limit is 000, we get

C=0.C=0.C=0.

Thus,

I(x)=ln⁡x+x−ln⁡(1+xex)+11+xex.I(x)=\ln x + x - \ln(1+xe^x)+\frac{1}{1+xe^x}.I(x)=lnx+x−ln(1+xex)+1+xex1​.
  1. Evaluate I(1)I(1)I(1)

Substitute x=1x=1x=1:

I(1)=ln⁡1+1−ln⁡(1+e)+11+e.I(1)=\ln 1 + 1 - \ln(1+e)+\frac{1}{1+e}.I(1)=ln1+1−ln(1+e)+1+e1​.

Since ln⁡1=0\ln 1=0ln1=0,

I(1)=1−ln⁡(e+1)+1e+1.I(1)=1-\ln(e+1)+\frac{1}{e+1}.I(1)=1−ln(e+1)+e+11​.

Combine the rational terms:

1+1e+1=e+1e+1+1e+1=e+2e+1.1+\frac{1}{e+1}=\frac{e+1}{e+1}+\frac{1}{e+1}=\frac{e+2}{e+1}.1+e+11​=e+1e+1​+e+11​=e+1e+2​.

Hence,

I(1)=e+2e+1−ln⁡(e+1).I(1)=\frac{e+2}{e+1}-\ln(e+1).I(1)=e+1e+2​−ln(e+1).
  1. Match with options

This is exactly

e+2e+1−log⁡e(e+1)\boxed{\frac{e+2}{e+1}-\log_e(e+1)}e+1e+2​−loge​(e+1)​

which corresponds to Option C.


  1. Comparison with stored correct answer

So they agree.
