integral from 2 to infinity of 1/(4+x^2)

\int_{2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4 + x ^{2}} d x

\frac{π}{8}

Decimal

0.39269 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4 + x ^{2}} d x

Compute the indefinite integral:

\int \frac{1}{4 + x ^{2}} d x = \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Compute the boundaries:

\int_{2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{4 + x ^{2}} d x = \frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{8}

= \frac{π}{4} - \frac{π}{8}

Simplify

= \frac{π}{8}
