integral of 3/((x^2+2))

\int \frac{3}{( x ^{2} + 2 )} d x

\frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{3}{x ^{2} + 2} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= 3 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{x}{2}

= 3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Simplify

3 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2}) : \frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})

= \frac{3}{2} arctan (\frac{x}{2})

Add a constant to the solution

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