Write the numerator as 1+x+x(1+x)1+x+\sqrt{x(1+x)}. Notice 1+x⋅1+x=1+x\sqrt{1+x}\cdot\sqrt{1+x}=1+x and 1+x⋅x=x(1+x)\sqrt{1+x}\cdot\sqrt{x}=\sqrt{x(1+x)}, so 1+x+x+x2=1+x(1+x+x)1+x+\sqrt{x+x^2}=\sqrt{1+x}\left(\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{x}\right). Dividing by the denominator x+1+x\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{1+x} cancels exactly, leaving the integral ∫1+x dx\int \sqrt{1+x}\,dx. By the power rule, ∫(1+x)1/2dx=(1+x)3/23/2+c=23(1+x)3/2+c\int (1+x)^{1/2}dx=\frac{(1+x)^{3/2}}{3/2}+c=\frac23(1+x)^{3/2}+c.

✓Final answer

Option (B): 23(x+1)3/2+c\frac23(x+1)^{3/2}+c
