The integrand is similar to 1+x21, which is the derivative of arctangent. Indeed, we have
∫1+25x21dx So, a reasonable first guess for the antiderivative might be F(x) However, because of the chain rule, F′(x) In order to “fix" the numerator, we make a second guess: F(x)F′(x)So,∫1+25x21dx=∫1+(5x)21dx.=?arctan(5x).=1+(5x)25.=51arctan(5x)=51(1+(5x)25)=1+25x21=51arctan(5x)+C.
