∫ 2(x + 4) / 2(x^2 + 2x + 5) dx1/2 ∫ (2x + 8) / (x^2 + 2x + 5) dxNow, let’s play around with this a little bit. Let’s have some common sense here:1 + 1 + 1 = 3 is the equivalent as 1 + 2 = 3With that in mind… 2x + 8 is the same as 2x + 2 + 6, therefore, we can do this:1/2 ∫ (2x + 2 + 6) / (x^2 + 2x + 5) dxWhat’s nice about the addition signs are that one of the fundamental rules of calculus is that as long as there is an + or a - sign, you can split that up into different integrals.
