integral of (x^2)/((1+x^2)^{5/2)}

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int cos^{3} (u) tan^{2} (u) d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \int sin^{2} (u) cos (u) d u

Apply u-substitution

= \int v^{2} d v

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{v ^{3}}{3}

Substitute back

= \frac{sin ^{3} ( arctan ( x ) )}{3}

Simplify

\frac{sin ^{3} ( arctan ( x ) )}{3} : \frac{x ^{3}}{3 ( 1 + x ^{2} ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

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

Add a constant to the solution

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