Evaluate the Integral of x/(x+2)dx Using Substitution!

I Evaluate the Integral of x/(x+2)dx using substitution. This is a tough one! There is a bit of a fancy move you need to make to take care of this one.

At the end the +2 could be removed since its a constant and theres already a +C (if you do this by long division you wouldnt have it in the answer regardless)

I see what you mean. Never thought about that.

Divide first and integrand is 1-2/(x+2)

Great! Thanks for the comment!

[@nrf7823]

could have just added 2 nd substracted 2 then separate into 2 integrals, great job though!

[@KaijuMathematics12]

Yep! That’s a great idea! Thanks for the kind words.
