integral from-1 to 1 of (x^2)/(x^2+1)

\int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

- \frac{π}{2} + 2

Decimal

0.42920 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 1} d x

\frac{x ^{2}}{x ^{2} + 1} = - \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} + 1

= \int_{- 1}^{1} - \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} + 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= - \int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x + \int_{- 1}^{1} 1 d x

\int_{- 1}^{1} \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 1} d x = \frac{π}{2}

\int_{- 1}^{1} 1 d x = 2

= - \frac{π}{2} + 2

\int_{0}^{x} 6 x y d y

\int_{0}^{2} 8 - 2 x^{2} d x

\int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{5}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

\int_{0}^{4} e^{- 2 t} d t

\int_{1}^{3} 2 x^{2} + 1 d x
