  1. Find \(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{9x}{(2x - 1)(x + 1)^2} \, \mathrm{d}x\).[4]
  2. Perform the following differentiations:
    1. Differentiate \(\frac{1}{x^2 + 1}\) with respect to \(x\).[1]
    2. Differentiate \(\ln \sqrt{x^2 + 1}\) with respect to \(x\).[1]
    3. Hence find \(\displaystyle \displaystyle\int \frac{x \ln \sqrt{x^2 + 1}}{(x^2 + 1)^2} \, \mathrm{d}x\).[4]
