Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve the given integral, we need to interpret and analyze the mathematical expression from the provided image.

The integral is:

I=1x+aatan(x)+x2+x2cos(x)dxI = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{1}{x + a \sqrt{\text{atan}(x)} + x^2 + x^2 \cos(x)} \, dx

To solve this integral, follow these steps:

  1. Simplify the Expression: Check if there are any symmetries or substitutions that can simplify the integral. For example, look for odd/even function properties, or potential substitutions like u=x2u = x^2.

  2. Evaluate the Behavior at Infinity: Determine if the integral converges by analyzing the behavior of the integrand as xx \to \infty and xx \to -\infty.

  3. Apply Integration Techniques: Use appropriate integration techniques such as integration by parts, partial fractions, or contour integration if it’s a complex function.

Step-by-Step Analysis

  1. Behavior at Infinity:

    For xx \to \infty or xx \to -\infty, the dominant term in the denominator is x2x^2. Therefore, the integrand behaves like 1x2\frac{1}{x^2} for large x|x|, which suggests the integral converges since 1x2dx\int \frac{1}{x^2} dx converges.

  2. Symmetry and Simplifications:

    Check if the function inside the integral has any symmetry properties. However, in this case, the presence of both xx and x2x^2 terms complicates this approach.

  3. Integration Technique:

    This specific integral does not lend itself easily to standard techniques like substitution or partial fractions due to the complex expression in the denominator. Numerical integration methods or advanced techniques might be necessary.

Given the complexity of the integrand, it's likely this integral does not have a simple closed-form solution and might require numerical methods for evaluation.
