integral from 0 to 1 of 1/(4+x^2)

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{4 + x ^{2}} d x

\frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{1}{2})

Decimal

0.23182 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{4 + x ^{2}} d x

Apply Integral Substitution

= \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} \frac{1}{2 ( 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} \cdot \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{2} [arctan (u)]_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}}

Compute the boundaries:

arctan (\frac{1}{2})

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