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

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

\frac{π}{4}

Solution steps

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

Complete the square

x^{2} - 2 x + 2 : (x - 1)^{2} + 1

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

Apply u-substitution

: \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

= \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= [arctan (u)]_{0}^{1}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{π}{4}

= \frac{π}{4}

\int_{0}^{5} (3 x - 8) d x

\int_{0}^{4} 3 - x^{2} d x

\int_{0}^{10} (5 e^{- 0.05 x}) d x

\int_{0}^{3} \frac{1}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

\int_{0}^{3} \frac{x}{1 + 5 x ^{2}} d x
