integral of 1/((x^2+a^2))

integral

\frac{1}{( x ^{2} + a ^{2} )}

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + a ^{2}} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{a ( 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}{a} \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}{a} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{a}

= \frac{1}{a} arctan (\frac{x}{a})

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

e^{\frac{x ^{2}}{2}}

\frac{1}{( a - x ) ^{2}}

sec (x) tan^{2} (x)

ln (x + 1)
