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

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

\frac{x ( x ^{2} + 6 )}{24 ( x ^{2} + 4 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{1}{16 sec ^{3} ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int \frac{1}{sec ^{3} ( u )} d u

Rewrite using trig identities

= \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int (1 - sin^{2} (u)) cos (u) d u

Apply u-substitution

= \frac{1}{16} \cdot \int 1 - v^{2} d v

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{1}{16} (\int 1 d v - \int v^{2} d v)

\int 1 d v = v

\int v^{2} d v = \frac{v ^{3}}{3}

= \frac{1}{16} (v - \frac{v ^{3}}{3})

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{16} (sin (arctan (\frac{1}{2} x)) - \frac{sin ^{3} ( arctan ( \frac{1}{2} x ) )}{3})

Simplify

\frac{1}{16} (sin (arctan (\frac{1}{2} x)) - \frac{sin ^{3} ( arctan ( \frac{1}{2} x ) )}{3}) : \frac{x ( x ^{2} + 6 )}{24 ( x ^{2} + 4 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

= \frac{x ( x ^{2} + 6 )}{24 ( x ^{2} + 4 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ( x ^{2} + 6 )}{24 ( x ^{2} + 4 ) ^{\frac{3}{2}}} + C
