Concept:First find the explicit form of f(x) using a substitution, then integrate the resulting expression.Explanation:Let y=x+1x−1.Rearrange to express x in terms of y:y(x+1)=x−1yx+y=x−1yx−x=−1−yx(y−1)=−(1+y)x=1−y1+yNow compute x+1:x+1=1−y1+y+1=1−y1+y+1−y=1−y2Hence, f(y)=1−y2.Therefore, f(x)=1−x2.Now integrate f(x):∫f(x)dx=∫1−x2dxSince dxd(1−x)=−1, use the standard formula:∫1−x2dx=−2log∣1−x∣+cAnswer:−2log∣1−x∣+c, which corresponds to Option B.
