integral of (8+x^2)^{-3/2}

\int (8 + x^{2})^{- \frac{3}{2}} d x

\frac{x}{8 ( 8 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} + C

Solution steps

\int (8 + x^{2})^{- \frac{3}{2}} d x

Apply exponent rule:

a^{- b} = \frac{1}{a ^{b}}

= \int \frac{1}{( 8 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int \frac{1}{8 sec ( u )} d u

= \int \frac{1}{8 sec ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int cos (u) d u = sin (u)

= \frac{1}{8} sin (u)

Substitute back

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

= \frac{1}{8} sin (arctan (\frac{1}{2 \cdot 2 ^{\frac{1}{2}}} x))

Simplify

\frac{1}{8} sin (arctan (\frac{1}{2 \cdot 2 ^{\frac{1}{2}}} x)) : \frac{x}{8 ( 8 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

= \frac{x}{8 ( 8 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x}{8 ( 8 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} + C

\int \frac{1}{15 x - 2} d x

\int - 2 cos^{3} (x) (cos^{2} (x))^{''} sin (x) d x

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

\int - e^{2 x^{3}} x^{2} d x

\int x e^{3 - 4 x^{2}} d x
