∫[1/(4+x^2)dx = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(1/2)ln(4+x^2)+C

myininaya (myininaya):

trig substitution !

OpenStudy (zarkon):

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

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\tan(\theta)=\frac{x}{2} =>\sec^2(\theta) d \theta=\frac{1}{2} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Messed up... :(

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}2 \frac{\sec^2(\theta)}{4(1+\tan^2(\theta))} d \theta\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{\sec^2(\theta)}{\sec^2(\theta)} d \theta\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{1}{2}\int\limits_{}^{}1 d \theta\]

myininaya (myininaya):

\[\frac{1}{2} \cdot \theta+C=\frac{1}{2} \cdot \tan^{-1}(\frac{x}{2})+C\]
