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

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

ln (5)

Decimal

1.60943 \dots

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} [ln ∣ u ∣]_{1}^{5}

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} [ln ∣ u ∣]_{1}^{5} : [ln ∣ u ∣]_{1}^{5}

= [ln ∣ u ∣]_{1}^{5}

Compute the boundaries:

ln (5)

= ln (5)
