Where did you stumble across this? Are you aware that there's no closed form?

If you do want help with it. You'll need to know that,

Li2(x)=ln(x+1)xdx\displaystyle -\mathrm{Li}_2(-x) = \int \frac{\ln(x+1)}{x} \mathrm{d}x

How can you rewrite ln(x+1)(1x2+x)\displaystyle \ln(x+1)\left(\frac{1}{x^2 + x}\right)?

ln(1+x)x2+x.dx=x1ln(1+x)x.dx\displaystyle \int \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x^2+x} .dx = \int x^{-1}\cdot \frac{\ln(1+x)}{x} .dx then IBP


can you write down all the workings?

Are you sure that what you write is correct?

He's right, trust me


I have no ideas distinguishing whether He is correct or not.I hope you guys can show a specific working.THX

I was trying to get onto something different, ie.

I misread the Q when it came to the workings
