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

integral

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply Integral Substitution

= a^{2} \cdot \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

= a^{2} \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)

= a^{2} \frac{1}{a} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{a}

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

Simplify

a^{2} \frac{1}{a} arctan (\frac{x}{a}) : a arctan (\frac{x}{a})

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

x^{2} + ln^{5} (x)

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

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

y = sin^{2} (x)

\frac{1}{( x ^{4} )}
