[Kerala (Engg.) 2002]

Options:

A) $ \log (x^{2}+4x+13)+c $

B) $ \frac{1}{3}{{\tan }^{-1}}( \frac{x+2}{3} )+c $

C) $ \log (2x+4)+c $

D) $ \frac{2x+4}{{{(x^{2}+4x+13)}^{2}}}+c $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

$ \int{\frac{dx}{x^{2}+4x+13}=\int{\frac{dx}{{{(x+2)}^{2}}+9}=\frac{1}{3}{{\tan }^{-1}}\frac{(x+2)}{3}+c}} $ .
