How can I resolve this indefinite integral?

$$ \int \left({8,387x+1 \over 9,41x+1} + \sin(9,326x + 1)\right) dx $$

I'm blocked here

$$ \int\left({{8387 \over 1000}x+1}\over{{941\over100}x+1} \right)dx + \int\left(\sin\left({9326\over1000}x+1\right) \right)dx $$

please anyone can help me? thanks

Replace those strange numbers with some friendly ones so you do not get distracted while doing and learning the substitution method. Then apply what you learned to the general case. –  Maesumi Jan 17 '13 at 13:47

As said above, I also think you are getting distracted by the "strange" numbers.

Assume you have


where $a,b,c$ are some constants, then you can write


now just proceed by rewriting the first term as $\dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{a/b}{bx+1}$, this is, now you have

$\displaystyle\int\left( \dfrac{a}{b}-\dfrac{a/b}{bx+1} \right)dx+\displaystyle\int\dfrac{1}{bx+1}dx+\displaystyle\int\sin(cx+1)dx$,

and now you are able to integrate everything by declaring new variables as already suggested: $u=bx+1$ and $v=cx+1$.

Do a substitution $w = 9.41 \, x + 1$ for the first and $y = 9.236 \, x + 1$ for the second integral.
