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

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

\frac{x ^{2} - 16}{8 x} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{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

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

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

= 2 \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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{16} sin (u)

Substitute back

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{16} sin (arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x))

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{16} sin (arcsec (\frac{1}{4} x)) : \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{8 x}

= \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{8 x}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2} - 16}{8 x} + C

\int csc^{3} (x) cos^{3} (x) d x

\int 12 + 8 x - 3 x^{2} d x

\int (3 t^{2} - 5 t + 2) d t

\int \frac{1}{6 + e ^{- 8 x}} d x

\int (sin (2 x) + cos (x))^{2} d x
