\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ 1 }{ x^2+6x+14 }\] I rewrote this as \[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ 1 }{ (x+3)^2+5 }\] but I am not sure that is helpful?
hartnn (hartnn):
sure it is.
\(\int \dfrac{1}{x^2+a^2}dx = \dfrac{1}{a} arctan x +c\)
OpenStudy (babynini):
but we can't square the 5! unless we write it sqrt5^2
OpenStudy (babynini):
is that legal? o_o
hartnn (hartnn):
i meant
\(\int \dfrac{1}{x^2+a^2}dx = \dfrac{1}{a} arctan (x/a) +c\)
and yes it is

a = \(\sqrt a^2 \)
OpenStudy (babynini):
wooah
\[\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt5 }\tan^{-1} (\frac{ x+3 }{ \sqrt5 })+C\]
hartnn (hartnn):
\(\Huge \checkmark \)
OpenStudy (babynini):
that's it? that's the end? :o
hartnn (hartnn):
absolutely

when i do
\(\checkmark\)
assume its the end :P
OpenStudy (babynini):
xD ik ik but it was so short haha
hartnn (hartnn):
completing the square was the majority of it, which you had already done :)
OpenStudy (babynini):
Well yay! :>
I guess we could rewrite this
\[\frac{ \sqrt5 }{ 5 }\tan^{-1}(\frac{ \sqrt5(x+3) }{ 5 }+C\] but that doesn't make much of a difference xD
hartnn (hartnn):
it does,
it makes the answer look more ugly :P
