I write the following code:

f(x) = (xcos(x) + sin(x))/(x+1) + (xsin(x)/((x+1)^2)
show(f)

Whenever I try to plot a graph, the following error appears:

File "<ipython-input-1-9a8367ab3956>", line 2
    show(f)

The expression for f(x) is missing a closing parenthesis.

The next error might be a NameError concerning xcos.

Multiplication should be explicit: write x*cos(x) and x*sin(x) instead of xcos(x) and xsin(x).
