integral of 4/(sqrt(x^2+4))

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

4 ln (\frac{1}{2} x + 4 + x^{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{4}{x ^{2} + 4} 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} + 4} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= 4 \cdot \int sec (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= 4 ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

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

= 4 ln tan (arctan (\frac{1}{2} x)) + sec (arctan (\frac{1}{2} x))

Simplify

4 ln tan (arctan (\frac{1}{2} x)) + sec (arctan (\frac{1}{2} x)) : 4 ln (\frac{1}{2} x + 4 + x^{2})

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

Add a constant to the solution

= 4 ln (\frac{1}{2} x + 4 + x^{2}) + C

\int (x^{3} - 5 x + 10) \cdot sin (2 x) d x

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

\int 10 tan^{9} (x) sec^{2} (x) d x

\int \frac{3}{x 9 - x ^{2}} d x

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