Integrating √(1+x²)/x using partial fractions

[Moenga]

Homework Statement

∫▒√(1+x^2 )/x dx

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

I don't know how to break this up. I know we break partial fraction problems up based on their denominator, however the denominator i this problem is just 'x'.

Just write it as the sum of two fractions. No partial fractions needed.

I know its simple to do it that way. The problem is asking to use partial fractions

 

[LCKurtz]

That problem is not appropriate to partial fractions. The method makes no sense for it.
