integral of 1/(x^2+12x+61)

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 12 x + 61} d x

\frac{1}{5} arctan (\frac{x + 6}{5}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 12 x + 61} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} + 12 x + 61 : (x + 6)^{2} + 25

= \int \frac{1}{( x + 6 ) ^{2} + 25} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 25} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{5 ( v ^{2} + 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v = arctan (v)

= \frac{1}{5} arctan (v)

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{5} arctan (\frac{x + 6}{5})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{5} arctan (\frac{x + 6}{5}) + C
