$${I}=\int_{−\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{{x}} }{dx}\:\Rightarrow{I}=_{{x}=−{t}} \\ $$$$\int_{\mathrm{1}} ^{−\mathrm{1}} \frac{{t}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{−{t}} }\left(−{dt}\right)=\int_{−\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \:\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{−{x}} }{dx}\:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{I}=\int_{−\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \left(\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{{x}} }+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{−{x}} }\right){x}^{\mathrm{2}} {dx} \\ $$$$=\int_{−\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{1}} \frac{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{−{x}} +\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{{x}} }{\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{2}^{−{x}} +\mathrm{2}^{{x}} +\mathrm{1}}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} {dx} \\ $$$$=\int_{−\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{1}} {x}^{\mathrm{2}} {dx}=\left[\frac{{x}^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{3}}\right]_{−\mathrm{1}} ^{\mathrm{1}} =\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$=\frac{\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$

$$\Rightarrow{I}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$
