integral from-4 to 4 of 1/(16+x^2)

\int_{- 4}^{4} \frac{1}{16 + x ^{2}} d x

\frac{π}{8}

Decimal Notation

0.39269 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{- 4}^{4} \frac{1}{16 + x ^{2}} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1}{4 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = arctan (u)

= \frac{1}{4} [arctan (u)]_{- 1}^{1}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{π}{2}

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \frac{π}{2}

Simplify

= \frac{π}{8}

\frac{d}{d x} (- 8 cos^{3} (x))

\int 1 - x^{2} - 3 x^{5} d x

x^{2} - 5 x

\frac{5 s}{( s + 7 ) ( s ^{2} + 4 )}

\int_{0}^{2} \frac{30 t ^{2}}{4 + t ^{3}} d t
