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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{x}{( x ^{2} + 2 ) ^{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply the Power Rule

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

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 2

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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