Homework Statement


∫(t+1)2/t2


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I don't see any possible way to substitute.
∫(t2+2t+1)/t2

You don't need to do any substitution, just split up the fraction into three different terms, so you can evaluate three terms rather easily.
 
∫(t+1)^2/t^2

=
∫ (t^2+2t+1 ) / t^2 dt

=

∫ t^2/t^2 dt + ∫2t/t^2 dt + 1/t^2 dt

take it from there
