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

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

\frac{1}{10} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{10 ( 1 + u ^{2} )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{10} \cdot \int \frac{1}{1 + u ^{2}} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{10} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{2}{5} x

= \frac{1}{10} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x)

Combine same powers :

\frac{x}{y} = \frac{x}{y}

= \frac{1}{10} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{10} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x) + C
