integral of 1/(2-cos^2(x))

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

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

Solution steps

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int \frac{1}{2 u ^{2} + 1} d u

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

Apply Integral Substitution

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

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}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

Use the common integral:

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

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

Substitute back

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int x^{e} + 2^{x} d x

\int 4 x + cosh (x) d x

\int x (1 + y) d y

\int \frac{1}{y + 4} d y

\int \frac{( x )}{( 7 x ^{2} + 3 ) ^{5}} d x
