integral of (sin(x)cos(x))/(1+cos^2(x))

\int \frac{sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{1 + cos ^{2} ( x )} d x

- \frac{1}{2} ln 1 + cos^{2} (x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{sin ( x ) cos ( x )}{1 + cos ^{2} ( x )} d x

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{2 ( 1 + cos ^{2} ( x ) )} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{sin ( 2 x )}{1 + cos ^{2} ( x )} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int - \frac{1}{u} d u

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int - \frac{1}{u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} (- \int \frac{1}{u} d u)

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{2} (- ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = 1 + cos^{2} (x)

= \frac{1}{2} (- ln 1 + cos^{2} (x))

Simplify

= - \frac{1}{2} ln 1 + cos^{2} (x)

Add a constant to the solution

= - \frac{1}{2} ln 1 + cos^{2} (x) + C

\int arccos^{2} (x) d x

\int - z sin (z) + cos (z) d z

\int \frac{1}{x ( x - 2 ) ^{3}} d x

\int \frac{1}{2 g h} d h
