What is the integral of #cos(x)/(5+sin^2(x))dx#?

Answer 1

#int \frac{cos x}{5 + sin^2 x}\ d x = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} tan^{-1} \frac{sin x}{\sqrt{5}} + C#

The cosine in the enumerator almost urges us to view #sin x# as an inner function (with derivative #cos x#). Therefore we can write the integral as
#[ int \frac{1}{5 + t^2}\ d t ]_{t = sin x} =#
#= [ \frac{1}{5} int \frac{1}{1 + \frac{t^2}{5}}\ d t ]_{t = sin x} =#
#= [ \frac{1}{5} int \frac{1}{1 + ( \frac{t}{\sqrt{5}} )^2}\ d t ]_{t = sin x}#.
By viewing #t / \sqrt{5}# as yet another inner function, with derivative #1 / \sqrt{5}#, this is the same as
#= [ \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} int \frac{1}{1 + u ^2}\ d u ]_{u = \frac{sin x}{\sqrt{5}}}#.
Now we are pretty much done, however, since the remaining integrand is the derivative of #tan^{-1}#. Therefore, we have
#[ \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \tan^{-1} u + C ]_{u = \frac{sin x}{\sqrt{5}}} =#
#= \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} tan^{-1} \frac{sin x}{\sqrt{5}} + C#.

Answer 2

The answer is #=1/sqrt5arctan(sinx/sqrt5)+C#

We need

#int(dx)/(1+x^2)=arctanx+C#

Perform the substitution

#u=sinx/sqrt5#, #=>#, #du=(cosxdx)/sqrt5#

The integral is

#int(cosxdx)/(5+sin^2x)=1/5int(cosxdx)/(1+(sinx/sqrt5)^2)#
#=sqrt5/5int(du)/(1+u^2)#
#=1/sqrt5*arctanu#
#=1/sqrt5arctan(sinx/sqrt5)+C#

Answer 3

The integral of cos(x)/(5+sin^2(x))dx is 1/2√5 arctan(√5 tan(x)/√5 + 2).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
