Spot the pattern: the denominator is f(x)=x2+x+7f(x)=x^{2}+x+7, and f′(x)=2x+1f'(x)=2x+1, which is exactly the numerator. So the integrand is of the form f′(x)f(x)\dfrac{f'(x)}{f(x)}.

Apply the log rule (equivalently, substitute t=x2+x+7t=x^{2}+x+7, dt=(2x+1) dxdt=(2x+1)\,dx):

∫2x+1x2+x+7 dx=∫dtt=log⁡∣t∣+c=log⁡∣x2+x+7∣+c.\int \frac{2x+1}{x^{2}+x+7}\,dx = \int \frac{dt}{t} = \log\lvert t\rvert+c = \log\lvert x^{2}+x+7\rvert+c. …
