integral of 1/(xsqrt(25+x^2))

\int \frac{1}{x 25 + x ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{5} ln tan (\frac{arctan ( \frac{1}{5} x )}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x 25 + x ^{2}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{sec ( u )}{5 tan ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int \frac{sec ( u )}{tan ( u )} d u

Apply u-substitution

= \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{v} d v = ln (∣ v ∣)

= \frac{1}{5} ln ∣ v ∣

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{5} ln tan (\frac{arctan ( \frac{1}{5} x )}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{5} ln tan (\frac{arctan ( \frac{1}{5} x )}{2}) + C
