Solution

The correct option is C $\frac{x^{3}}{3} - \frac{1}{x} + 2 x + c$
Given function is $f (x) = {(x + \frac{1}{x})}^{2}$
$\Rightarrow f (x) = x^{2} + \frac{1}{x^{2}} + 2 = x^{2} + x^{- 2} + 2$
So, $\int {(x + \frac{1}{x})}^{2} d x = \int (x^{2} + x^{- 2} + 2) d x$
$\Rightarrow \int x^{2} d x + \int x^{- 2} d x + \int 2 d x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{x^{3}}{3} - \frac{1}{x} + 2 x + c$
