Given,

\frac{x^2 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)}

using partial fraction we can simplify the integral as

Let \frac{x^2 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)} = \frac{A}{x+1}+\frac{B}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{C}{x+2}

\\ \implies \frac{x^2 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)} = \frac{A(x+1)(x+2) + B(x+2) + C(x+1)^2}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)} \\ \implies \frac{x^2 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)} = \frac{A(x^2 + 3x+2) + B(x+2) + C(x^2 + 2x+1)}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)}

\\ \implies x^2 + x + 1 = A(x^2 + 3x+2) + B(x+2) + C(x^2 + 2x+1) \\ = (A+C)x^2 + (3A+B+2C)x + (2A+2B+C)

Equating the coefficients of x, x2 and constant value, we get:

A + C = 1

3A + B + 2C = 1

2A+2B+C =1

Solving these:

A= -2, B=1 and C=3

\implies \frac{x^2 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)} = \frac{-2}{x+1}+\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}+\frac{3}{x+2}

\\ \implies \int \frac{x^2 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2 (x+2)} = \int\frac{-2}{x+1}dx+\int\frac{1}{(x+1)^2}dx+\int\frac{3}{x+2}dx \\ = -2\log(x+1) - \frac{1}{(x+1)} + 3\log (x+2) + C
