integral of (x^2)/((x^2+a^2)^2)

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{2 a} arctan (\frac{x}{a}) - \frac{x}{2 ( a ^{2} + x ^{2} )} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x ^{2}}{( x ^{2} + a ^{2} ) ^{2}} d x

x^{2} + a^{2} = a^{2} (\frac{x ^{2}}{a ^{2}} + 1)

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

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Take the partial fraction of

\frac{u ^{2}}{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}} : \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} - \frac{1}{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}}

= \frac{1}{a} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} - \frac{1}{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

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

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

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

= \frac{1}{a} (arctan (u) - \frac{1}{2} (arctan (u) + \frac{u}{1 + u ^{2}}))

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{a}

= \frac{1}{a} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) - \frac{1}{2} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{\frac{x}{a}}{1 + ( \frac{x}{a} ) ^{2}}))

Simplify

\frac{1}{a} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) - \frac{1}{2} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{\frac{x}{a}}{1 + ( \frac{x}{a} ) ^{2}})) : \frac{1}{2 a} arctan (\frac{x}{a}) - \frac{x}{2 ( a ^{2} + x ^{2} )}

= \frac{1}{2 a} arctan (\frac{x}{a}) - \frac{x}{2 ( a ^{2} + x ^{2} )}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2 a} arctan (\frac{x}{a}) - \frac{x}{2 ( a ^{2} + x ^{2} )} + C

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

\int 3 cos (x) + 2 x + e^{x} d x

\int 4^{2} - x^{2} d x

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

\int \frac{x + 1}{x ^{3} - 1} d x
