∫dx(x2+4)32\displaystyle\int \dfrac{dx}{(x^2+4)^{\frac{3}{2}}} is equal to ( where cc is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Substitute x=2tan⁡θx=2\tan\theta, so dx=2sec⁡2θ dθdx=2\sec^2\theta\,d\theta and (x2+4)3/2=8sec⁡3θ(x^2+4)^{3/2}=8\sec^3\theta. The integral becomes 14∫cos⁡θ dθ=14sin⁡θ+c\frac{1}{4}\int\cos\theta\,d\theta=\frac{1}{4}\sin\theta+c. Since sin⁡θ=xx2+4\sin\theta=\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2+4}}, the answer is x4x2+4+c\frac{x}{4\sqrt{x^2+4}}+c.
