Question: Evaluate the integral $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(1+4 x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}$$ Answer: The value of the integral is given by $$\frac{1}{2}\left(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1}\right) + C\right)$$

Step by step solution

01

Trigonometric Substitution

Let's use the substitution \(\tan(\theta)=\frac{2x}{1}\). We now must find the derivative of this equation with respect to \(x\) and express \(dx\) in terms of \(d\theta\).
02

Find the Derivative

Differentiating the above equation, we get: $$\sec^{2}(\theta)d\theta=2dx$$ and hence $$ dx= \frac{1}{2}\sec^{2}(\theta)d\theta $$
03

Substitute the Trig Identity and \(dx\) into the integral

Now, substitute \(\tan(\theta)=\frac{2x}{1}\) in the integral and also replace \(dx\) with \(\frac{1}{2}\sec^2(\theta)d\theta\). Our integral becomes: $$\int \frac{1}{\left(1+4 \left(\frac{1}{2}\tan(\theta)\right)^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}}\frac{1}{2}\sec^{2}(\theta)d\theta$$ Simplify the expression inside the integral: $$\int \frac{1}{\left(1 + \tan^2(\theta)\right)^{3/2}} \frac{1}{2}\sec^2(\theta)d\theta$$ Now using the identity: \(\sec^2(\theta) = 1 + \tan^2(\theta)\), $$\int \frac{\frac{1}{2}\sec^2(\theta)}{\sec^3(\theta)} d\theta$$
04

Solve the Integral

After simplification, our integral becomes: $$\frac{1}{2}\int \sec^{-1}(\theta) d\theta$$ The integral of \(\sec^{-1}(\theta)\) is given by: $$\int \sec^{-1}(\theta)d\theta = \theta + C$$ So the result of the integral is: $$\frac{1}{2}\left(\theta + C \right)$$
05

Convert Back to an Expression in \(x\)

Now we need to re-write this result in terms of \(x\). We know that: $$\tan(\theta)=\frac{2x}{1}$$ Thus, we have the following relationship between \(\theta\) and \(x\): $$\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1}\right)$$ Finally, substitute \(\theta\) back into the result of the integral: $$\frac{1}{2}\left(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1}\right) + C\right)$$ Hence, the evaluation of the integral is $$\int \frac{d x}{\left(1+4 x^{2}\right)^{3 / 2}} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1}\right) + C\right)$$
