integral from-infinity to 0 of 2/(x^2+4)

\int_{- \infty}^{0} \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

\frac{π}{2}

Decimal

1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{- \infty}^{0} \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{- \infty}^{0} \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = 0 - (- \frac{π}{2})

= 0 - (- \frac{π}{2})

Simplify

= \frac{π}{2}

\int_{- 1}^{2} (x^{2} + 1) (x - 3) d x

\int_{0}^{2} (2 x - 9) (4 x^{2} + 8) d x

\int_{0}^{1} (2 x - x^{2} - x^{2}) d x

\int_{0}^{4} 6 x^{2} d x

\int_{1}^{3} (x - 2) d x
