integral of 1/(sqrt(x^2+y^2))

integral

\frac{1}{x ^{2} + y ^{2}}

ln \frac{x + y ^{2} + x ^{2}}{∣ y ∣} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int sec (u) d u

= \int sec (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int sec (u) d u = ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

= ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

u = arctan (\frac{1}{y} x)

= ln tan (arctan (\frac{1}{y} x)) + sec (arctan (\frac{1}{y} x))

Simplify

ln tan (arctan (\frac{1}{y} x)) + sec (arctan (\frac{1}{y} x)) : ln \frac{x + y ^{2} + x ^{2}}{∣ y ∣}

= ln \frac{x + y ^{2} + x ^{2}}{∣ y ∣}

Add a constant to the solution

= ln \frac{x + y ^{2} + x ^{2}}{∣ y ∣} + C

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

\frac{1}{1 + x ^{4}}

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

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

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