The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\int x \log \left(1+\frac{1}{x}\right) d x$
$=\int x \log (x+1) d x-\int x \log x d x$
$=\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log (x+1)-\frac{1}{2} \int \frac{x^{2}}{x+1} d x-\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log x+\frac{1}{2} \int \frac{x^{2}}{x} d x$
$=\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log (x+1)-\frac{1}{2} \int\left(x-1+\frac{1}{x+1}\right) d x-\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log x+\frac{1}{4} x^{2}$
$=\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log (x+1)-\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log x-\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{x^{2}}{2}-x\right)-\frac{1}{2} \log (x+1)+\frac{1}{4} x^{2}+C$
$=\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log (x+1)-\frac{x^{2}}{2} \log x-\frac{1}{2} \log (x+1)+\frac{1}{2} x+C$
Hence, $f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{2}-\frac{1}{2}, g(x)=-\frac{1}{2} \log x$ and $A=\frac{1}{2}$

Methods of Integration

Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:

Integration by Parts:

 If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:

∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C

Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.

Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:

The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:

∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx

where

f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and

g(x) = q(x).s(x)

Integration by Substitution Method

Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:

∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du

Integration by Decomposition

Reverse Chain Rule

This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,

∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
