`int (dx)/(sqrt(x^2 + 16))` Evaluate the integral

`intdx/sqrt(x^2+16)`


Let  `x=4tantheta`  for `-pi/2<theta<pi/2` . 


`dx/[d(theta)]=4sec^2theta`


` ` `dx=4sec^2thetad(theta)`



`sqrt(x^2+16)=`


`sqrt((4tantheta)^2+16)=`


`sqrt(16tan^2theta+16)=`


`sqrt[16(tan^2theta+1)]=`


`sqrt(16sec^2theta)=`


`4|sec(theta)|`




`intdx/[4sec(theta)]=`


`int(4sec^2(theta)d(theta))/(4sec(theta))=`


` ` `intsec(theta)d(theta)=`


`ln|sec(theta)+tan(theta)|+C_1=`


`ln|sqrt(x^2+16)/4+x/4|+C_1=`


`ln|(sqrt(x^2+16)+x)/4|+C_1=`


`ln|(sqrt(x^2+16)+x)|-ln4+C_1=`


`ln|sqrt(x^2+16)+x|+C`


where `C`  is the constant `C_1-ln4` .



The final answer is 



`ln|(sqrt(x^2+16)+x)+C`


where `C` is the constant `C_1-ln4`.
