integral of 2/(x^2+5)

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 5} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{2}{x ^{2} + 5} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 5} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{5 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{5} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u = arctan (u)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{5} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{5}

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

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{5} arctan (\frac{x}{5}) : \frac{2}{5} arctan (\frac{x}{5})

= \frac{2}{5} arctan (\frac{x}{5})

Add a constant to the solution

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