Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 9–28. It may be necessary to use a substitution first.
∫ [(4x) / (x³ + 4x)] dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by simplifying the integrand \( \frac{4x}{x^3 + 4x} \). Notice that the denominator can be factored as \( x(x^2 + 4) \), so rewrite the integral as \( \int \frac{4x}{x(x^2 + 4)} \, dx \).
Cancel the common factor \( x \) in the numerator and denominator, assuming \( x \neq 0 \), to simplify the integrand to \( \int \frac{4}{x^2 + 4} \, dx \).
Recognize that the integral now has the form \( \int \frac{C}{x^2 + a^2} \, dx \), which is a standard integral. Recall the formula: \( \int \frac{dx}{x^2 + a^2} = \frac{1}{a} \arctan\left( \frac{x}{a} \right) + C \).
Apply the constant multiple rule to factor out the 4, so the integral becomes \( 4 \int \frac{1}{x^2 + 4} \, dx \). Here, \( a^2 = 4 \), so \( a = 2 \).
Use the formula to write the integral as \( 4 \times \frac{1}{2} \arctan\left( \frac{x}{2} \right) + C \), simplifying the constants as needed.

Integration by Substitution

Integration by substitution is a method used to simplify integrals by changing variables. It involves identifying a part of the integrand as a new variable, which transforms the integral into a simpler form. This technique is especially useful when the integral contains a composite function.
