Solving Integral Problem: \int\frac{x*e^x}{(x+1)^2}dx

[clackulus]

The problem is given as
\int\frac{x*e^x}{(x+1)^2}dx

I did u substitution with u=(x+1) and du=dx

which gives me \int\frac{(u-1)*e^{u-1}}{u^2}

simplifies to \int\frac{u*e^{u-1}-e^{u-1}}{u^2}

Then I separated it into two integrals

\int\frac{e^{u-1}}{u}-\int\frac{e^{u-1}}{u^2}


Now I'm stuck. I tried doing these separate integrals by parts, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Am I going in the complete wrong direction with this? Any help would be appreciated.

Everything looks good to me so far, what do you get when you integrate the second term by parts once?

Oh wow. I got caught up on the fact that I couldn't do the first term and didn't realize that I don't have to! The integral of the second term takes care of that for me. Thank you.
