any math fags over here ?
I need some advice on how to find the antiderivative of pic related
>antiderivative
We don't want to do your high school homework for you. That being said, are you sure that's correct? The denominator has no rational roots.

Good job making fun of him for an integral that clearly isn't a high school level problem haha

You gotta split that shit man:
1.) int(x/(x^2-x+1))+int(1/(x^2-x+1))
2.) Then, you can integrate the left side as a typical log (1/2*log(x^2-x+1)+1/2)
3.) The right side is a bit more tricky, but I think you can do it as a trig substitution for x=tan(u), dx=sec^2(u) du , but I'm still working on that side

Nevermind, I messed up a little - you do need to split it, but there needs to be a step before it:
1.) Write out x+1 as 1/2*(2x+1) + 3/2
This step is done because you need the '2x+1' term since it is the derivative of the denominator. This gives you:
int((2x+1)dx/(2(x^2-x+1)))+int(3dx/(2(x^2-x+1)))
2.) integrate the left side to get 1/2ln(x^2-x+1)
3.) For 3/2 int(dx/(x^2-x+1)), you need to complete the square:
ax^2+bx+c ---> a(x+b/2a)^2+c-b^2/2a
where a=1, b=-1, and c=1
which gives (x-1/2)^2-3/4
in full: 3/2 int(dx/((x-1/2)^2-3/4)))
4.) We want to get this into a 1/(1+u^2) form so that we can do the arctan(x) integral, so we need to make a sub that makes it look like that.

I did way more complex integrals in high school, is this what Americans really think?

Try partial fractions or maybe some trig sub. If nothing else integratuon by parts. I lost my math powers so my bad OP.
X^2 - X + 1 = (X - 1/2)^2 + 3/4
Now use substitute 3/4sinh u ^ 2 = (X - 1/2)^2. This should give you a cosh^2 for the denominator, and should now be a lot easier:
Root(3)/2 sinh u = X - 1/2
Root(3)/2 cosh u du = dx
So we have
Int((X+1)/(X^2-X+1) dx) = int(something / 3/4cosh u ^2)
Where something is Root(3)/2 cosh u * Root(3)/2 sinh u + 3/2
This should give an integral in terms of tanh and sech, which are both integrable.
I think you should get int(tanh u + root(3)sech u)
= ln(cosh u) + root(3)arctan(sinh u)
This is assuming you know your hyperbolic integrals. They are immensely useful.
