integral of (x+6)/(x^2+4)

\int \frac{x + 6}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 + 3 arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x + 6}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

Expand

\frac{x + 6}{x ^{2} + 4} : \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 4} + \frac{6}{x ^{2} + 4}

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 4} d x + \int \frac{6}{x ^{2} + 4} d x

\int \frac{x}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4

\int \frac{6}{x ^{2} + 4} d x = 3 arctan (\frac{x}{2})

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 + 3 arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 4 + 3 arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C
