integral of 2/((x^2+4))

\int \frac{2}{( x ^{2} + 4 )} d x

arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}) : arctan (\frac{x}{2})

= arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

\int (4 - 18 x) d x

\int \frac{1}{4 x + 9} d x

\int e^{x} (1 + e^{x})^{7} d x

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

\int 5^{4 x^{2} + 4 x + 1} (2 x + 1) d x
