integral of 1/(4x^2+5)

\int \frac{1}{4 x ^{2} + 5} d x

\frac{1}{2 5} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{4 x ^{2} + 5} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{2 5} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = \frac{2}{5} x

= \frac{1}{2 5} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2 5} arctan (\frac{2}{5} x) + C
