Detailed Explanation
1. Turning the integral into a differential equation
Because the result of the integral is given as differentiating both sides immediately gets us back to the integrand:
Cancelling the common factor, we arrive at a first-order linear ODE:
2. Simplifying the right-hand side
Long division (or a quick algebra trick) shows
We name this compact form
The differential equation is now
3. Finding quickly
For such a constant-coefficient, first-order linear ODE the integrating-factor method (factor ) or a clever guess works very fast:
Guess: take
Differentiate, add to itself, and equate coefficients to . One finds
Note that any extra constant inside would merely shift the overall “” of the original integral, so this form is unique for our purpose.
4. Higher-order derivatives
Since in the problem statement plays the same role as , we set :
Now work out derivatives systematically:
- First derivative
- Second derivative
- Third derivative
5. Evaluate at
A direct substitution gives
That is all the theory and logical chain of steps a student needs to reach the requested third derivative at .
Simple Explanation (ELI5)
What is the question asking?
We first have an integral that has already been written in a neat form:
“If $$\int \frac{(x^2+1)e^x}{(x+1)^2},dx = f(x),e^x + c*,”*
The question then asks for the third derivative of a certain function at .
To keep it simple, think of like a recipe hidden inside that integral. Once we know , we can call it and then perform the usual differentiate-thrice job to find at the point .
How would you do it?
- Peel off the by remembering the product rule:
If , then - Match the peeled-off result with the integrand . Cancelling gives a tidy differential equation for .
- Solve the quick, linear differential equation to get a nice algebraic form of .
- Differentiate three times (yes, that sounds scary, but if is a small rational expression, each step is just a power-rule plus chain-rule).
- Finally, plug in to see what the third derivative becomes.
That’s exactly what we’ll guide you through in the detailed explanation!

Examples
Example 1
Electrical RC circuits: solving V'(t) + (1/RC)V = (1/RC)E(t) mirrors the same linear ODE style.
Example 2
Radioactive decay with a driving source term gives N'(t)+\lambda N = S(t), identical form.
Example 3
Population models with constant immigration: dP/dt + kP = I are effectively the same mathematics.
