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

integral

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

\frac{1}{2 a ^{3}} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (\frac{x}{a}))) + C

Solution steps

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

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

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

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{a ^{3} ( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \int \frac{1}{( u ^{2} + 1 ) ^{2}} d u

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int \frac{1}{sec ^{4} ( v ) cos ^{2} ( v )} d v

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ^{4} ( v ) cos ^{2} ( v )} d v

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \int \frac{1 + cos ( 2 v )}{2} d v

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int 1 + cos (2 v) d v

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (\int 1 d v + \int cos (2 v) d v)

\int 1 d v = v

\int cos (2 v) d v = \frac{1}{2} sin (2 v)

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (v + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 v))

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (\frac{x}{a})))

Simplify

\frac{1}{a ^{3}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (\frac{x}{a}))) : \frac{1}{2 a ^{3}} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (\frac{x}{a})))

= \frac{1}{2 a ^{3}} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (\frac{x}{a})))

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2 a ^{3}} (arctan (\frac{x}{a}) + \frac{1}{2} sin (2 arctan (\frac{x}{a}))) + C

lo g_{10} (1 + x)

(x + y)^{2}

\frac{k \cdot x}{( 1 + x ^{2} )}

lo g_{10} (x + 2)

lo g_{10} (x + 1)
