integral of 4/(x^2sqrt(x^2-16))

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} x ^{2} - 16} d x

\frac{x ^{2} - 16}{4 x} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} x ^{2} - 16} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} x ^{2} - 16} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int \frac{1}{16 sec ( u )} d u

= 4 \cdot \int \frac{1}{16 sec ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int cos (u) d u = sin (u)

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{16} sin (u)

Substitute back

u = arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x)

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{16} sin (arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x))

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{1}{16} sin (arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x)) : \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{4 x}

= \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{4 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{4 x} + C

\int x sin^{3} (x^{2}) d x

\int \frac{cos ( x )}{( 1 + sin ( x ) ) ^{3}} d x

\int cos^{2} (t) sin^{5} (t) d t

\int 3 x^{2} (x^{3} - 1)^{4} d x

\int (x^{3} + 2 x) x^{4} + 4 x^{2} + 1 d x
