integral of 1/(sqrt(x^2+2x+26))

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2 x + 26} d x

ln (\frac{1}{5} x + 1 + x^{2} + 2 x + 26) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} + 2 x + 26} d x

Complete the square

x^{2} + 2 x + 26 : (x + 1)^{2} + 25

= \int \frac{1}{( x + 1 ) ^{2} + 25} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 25} d u

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int sec (v) d v

Use the common integral:

\int sec (v) d v = ln ∣ tan (v) + sec (v) ∣

= ln ∣ tan (v) + sec (v) ∣

Substitute back

= ln tan (arctan (\frac{1}{5} (x + 1))) + sec (arctan (\frac{1}{5} (x + 1)))

Simplify

ln tan (arctan (\frac{1}{5} (x + 1))) + sec (arctan (\frac{1}{5} (x + 1))) : ln (\frac{1}{5} x + 1 + x^{2} + 2 x + 26)

= ln (\frac{1}{5} x + 1 + x^{2} + 2 x + 26)

Add a constant to the solution

= ln (\frac{1}{5} x + 1 + x^{2} + 2 x + 26) + C
