**Evaluate the Integral**

\[
\int \frac{15x^2 \, dx}{(x+1)(x^2+1)} = \, \_\_\_\_ + C
\]

In this problem, we are tasked with evaluating the integral of the function \( \frac{15x^2}{(x+1)(x^2+1)} \) with respect to \( x \). The answer should be expressed in terms of \( C \), which represents the constant of integration. The integration involves breaking down the rational expression using strategies such as partial fraction decomposition to simplify the calculation.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Here we use the partial fraction of the integrand to find the integration

1xdx=ln(x), 1x2+1dx=tan-1(x)
