integral of 1/(x^2+4)

integral

\frac{1}{x ^{2} + 4}

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 4} 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 (2 cos (2 x) - 3 sin (3 x)) d x

\int x^{2} \cdot 3 x d x

- e^{- x}

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

\int r e^{k r} d r
