integral of 1/((x^2+2x+5))

integral

\frac{1}{( x ^{2} + 2 x + 5 )}

\frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x + 1}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2 x + 5} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} + 2 x + 5 : (x + 1)^{2} + 4

= \int \frac{1}{( x + 1 ) ^{2} + 4} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 4} d u

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 4} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{2} arctan (v)

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x + 1}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x + 1}{2}) + C

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

\frac{t}{( 1 + t ^{2} )}

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

x (2 - x)^{3}

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