Rewrite integral with common factor: Rewrite the integral with a common factor in the denominator:∫014x2+4x+5dx=∫014(x2+x+45)dx.
Complete the square: Complete the square in the denominator: x2+x+45=(x+21)2+1.So, ∫014(x2+x+45)dx=∫014((x+21)2+1)dx.
Substitute u and du: Substitute u=x+21, then du=dx:When x=0, u=21; when x=1, u=23.The integral becomes ∫21234(u2+1)du.
Factor out constant: Factor out the constant from the integral: ∫1/23/24(u2+1)du=41∫1/23/2u2+1du.
Recognize integral as arctan: Recognize the integral of u2+11 as arctan(u):41∫2123u2+1du=41[arctan(u)] from 21 to 23.
Evaluate arctan at bounds: Evaluate the arctan function at the bounds: 41[arctan(23)−arctan(21)].
Calculate final result: Calculate the values of arctan(23) and arctan(21): arctan(23)≈0.9828, arctan(21)≈0.4636. 41[0.9828−0.4636]=41×0.5192=0.1298.
