integral of (2x+5)/(x^2+4x+5)

\int \frac{2 x + 5}{x ^{2} + 4 x + 5} d x

ln x^{2} + 4 x + 5 + arctan (x + 2) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{2 x + 5}{x ^{2} + 4 x + 5} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} + 4 x + 5 : (x + 2)^{2} + 1

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Expand

\frac{2 u + 1}{u ^{2} + 1} : \frac{2 u}{u ^{2} + 1} + \frac{1}{u ^{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{2 u}{u ^{2} + 1} d u + \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

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

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

= ln u^{2} + 1 + arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = x + 2

= ln (x + 2)^{2} + 1 + arctan (x + 2)

Expand

(x + 2)^{2} + 1 : x^{2} + 4 x + 5

= ln x^{2} + 4 x + 5 + arctan (x + 2)

Add a constant to the solution

= ln x^{2} + 4 x + 5 + arctan (x + 2) + C
