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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{2 u ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{u ^{\frac{1}{2}}})

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 1

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{2}{( x ^{2} + 1 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}) : - \frac{1}{( x ^{2} + 1 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

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

Add a constant to the solution

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