integral of 1/((z^2+x^2)^{3/2)}

\int \frac{1}{( z ^{2} + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( z ^{2} + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{z ^{2} sec ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{z ^{2}} sin (u)

Substitute back

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

= \frac{1}{z ^{2}} sin (arctan (\frac{1}{z} x))

Simplify

\frac{1}{z ^{2}} sin (arctan (\frac{1}{z} x)) : \frac{x}{z ^{2} ( z ^{2} + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

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

Add a constant to the solution

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