integral from 0 to 1 of (4x^2)/(1+x^2)

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{4 x ^{2}}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

- π + 4

Decimal

0.85840 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{4 x ^{2}}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= 4 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} \frac{x ^{2}}{1 + x ^{2}} d x

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

= 4 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} - \frac{1}{1 + x ^{2}} + 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= 4 (- \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{1 + x ^{2}} d x + \int_{0}^{1} 1 d x)

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{1 + x ^{2}} d x = \frac{π}{4}

\int_{0}^{1} 1 d x = 1

= 4 (- \frac{π}{4} + 1)

Simplify

4 (- \frac{π}{4} + 1) : - π + 4

= - π + 4
