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

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

\frac{1}{2} ln (3)

Decimal

0.54930 \dots

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{1}^{9} \frac{1}{4 u} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int_{1}^{9} \frac{1}{u} d u

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{u} d u = ln (∣ u ∣)

= \frac{1}{4} [ln ∣ u ∣]_{1}^{9}

Compute the boundaries:

2 ln (3)

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot 2 ln (3)

Simplify

= \frac{1}{2} ln (3)
