Expand the integral $\int\left(x+\frac{11}{x+1}\right)dx$ into $2$ integrals using the sum rule for integrals, to then solve each integral separately
$\int xdx+\int\frac{11}{x+1}dx$
Intermediate steps
6
The integral $\int xdx$ results in: $\frac{1}{2}x^2$
$\frac{1}{2}x^2$
Intermediate steps
7
The integral $\int\frac{11}{x+1}dx$ results in: $11\ln\left(x+1\right)$
$11\ln\left(x+1\right)$
8
Gather the results of all integrals
$\frac{1}{2}x^2+11\ln\left(x+1\right)$
9
As the integral that we are solving is an indefinite integral, when we finish integrating we must add the constant of integration $C$
$\frac{1}{2}x^2+11\ln\left(x+1\right)+C_0$
Final answer to the problem
$\frac{1}{2}x^2+11\ln\left(x+1\right)+C_0$
