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

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

\frac{π}{2}

Decimal

1.57079 \dots

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply Integral Substitution

= 4 \cdot \int_{0}^{1} \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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int_{0}^{1} \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= 4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} [arctan (u)]_{0}^{1}

Simplify

4 \cdot \frac{1}{2} [arctan (u)]_{0}^{1} : 2 [arctan (u)]_{0}^{1}

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

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{π}{4}

= 2 \cdot \frac{π}{4}

Simplify

= \frac{π}{2}
