integral of 1/((w^2+4)^{3/2)}

\int \frac{1}{( w ^{2} + 4 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d w

\frac{w}{4 ( 4 + w ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{( w ^{2} + 4 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} d w

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{4 sec ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{1}{4} \cdot \int cos (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int cos (u) d u = sin (u)

= \frac{1}{4} sin (u)

Substitute back

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

= \frac{1}{4} sin (arctan (\frac{1}{2} w))

Simplify

\frac{1}{4} sin (arctan (\frac{1}{2} w)) : \frac{w}{4 ( 4 + w ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

= \frac{w}{4 ( 4 + w ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{w}{4 ( 4 + w ^{2} ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} + C
