integral of ((x+5))/((x^2+8x+17))

integral

\frac{( x + 5 )}{( x ^{2} + 8 x + 17 )}

\frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 8 x + 17 + arctan (x + 4) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{x + 5}{x ^{2} + 8 x + 17} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{u}{u ^{2} - 2 u + 2} d u

Complete the square

u^{2} - 2 u + 2 : (u - 1)^{2} + 1

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{v + 1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

Expand

\frac{v + 1}{v ^{2} + 1} : \frac{v}{v ^{2} + 1} + \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1}

Apply the Sum Rule:

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

= \int \frac{v}{v ^{2} + 1} d v + \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

\int \frac{v}{v ^{2} + 1} d v = \frac{1}{2} ln v^{2} + 1

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

= \frac{1}{2} ln v^{2} + 1 + arctan (v)

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{2} ln (x + 5 - 1)^{2} + 1 + arctan (x + 5 - 1)

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} ln (x + 5 - 1)^{2} + 1 + arctan (x + 5 - 1) : \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 8 x + 17 + arctan (x + 4)

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 8 x + 17 + arctan (x + 4)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} ln x^{2} + 8 x + 17 + arctan (x + 4) + C
