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

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

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \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

= \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)

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

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

\int \frac{3 x + 2}{x ^{2} + 9} d x

\int \frac{y ^{2} - 1}{y} d y

\int - \frac{5}{x ^{2} 5 + x ^{2}} d x
