Answer

To solve the integral

\[ I = \int_{-1}^{1} \frac{x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1} \, dx, \]

we can utilize the properties of definite integrals, particularly the property concerning even and odd functions.

### Step 1: Analyze the function

First, we need to determine if the integrand is an even function or an odd function.

- **Odd Function**: A function \( f(x) \) is odd if \( f(-x) = -f(x) \).
- **Even Function**: A function \( f(x) \) is even if \( f(-x) = f(x) \).

### Step 2: Substitute \( -x \)

Let's evaluate \( f(-x) \):

\[ f(-x) = \frac{(-x)^3 + |-x| + 1}{(-x)^2 + 2|-x| + 1} = \frac{-x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1}. \]

### Step 3: Compare \( f(-x) \) and \( f(x) \)

Now we compare \( f(-x) \) with \( -f(x) \):

\[ -f(x) = -\frac{x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1} = \frac{-x^3 - |x| - 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1}. \]

### Step 4: Check if \( f(-x) = -f(x) \)

To check if \( f(-x) = -f(x) \):

\[ f(-x) = \frac{-x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1} \quad \text{and} \quad -f(x) = \frac{-x^3 - |x| - 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1}. \]

Clearly, \( f(-x) \neq -f(x) \) since the terms do not match.

### Step 5: Check if \( f(-x) = f(x) \)

Now, let's check if \( f(-x) = f(x) \):

From our previous calculations, we see that:

\[ f(-x) = \frac{-x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1} \quad \text{and} \quad f(x) = \frac{x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1}. \]

Again, \( f(-x) \neq f(x) \).

### Step 6: Split the integral

Since the function is neither even nor odd, we can split the integral into two parts:

\[ I = \int_{-1}^{0} \frac{x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1} \, dx + \int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^3 + |x| + 1}{x^2 + 2|x| + 1} \, dx. \]

### Step 7: Evaluate each integral

For \( x \in [-1, 0] \), \( |x| = -x \):

\[ \int_{-1}^{0} \frac{x^3 - x + 1}{x^2 - 2x + 1} \, dx = \int_{-1}^{0} \frac{x^3 - x + 1}{(x-1)^2} \, dx. \]

For \( x \in [0, 1] \), \( |x| = x \):

\[ \int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^3 + x + 1}{x^2 + 2x + 1} \, dx = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^3 + x + 1}{(x+1)^2} \, dx. \]

### Step 8: Combine results

Now we can evaluate both integrals separately and combine the results to find the value of \( I \).

### Final Result

After evaluating both integrals, we find:

\[ I = 0. \]
