Detail solution
  1. Rewrite the integrand:

  2. Integrate term-by-term:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

        PiecewiseRule(subfunctions=[(ArctanRule(a=1, b=1, c=4, context=1/(x**2 + 4), symbol=x), True), (ArccothRule(a=1, b=1, c=4, context=1/(x**2 + 4), symbol=x), False), (ArctanhRule(a=1, b=1, c=4, context=1/(x**2 + 4), symbol=x), False)], context=1/(x**2 + 4), symbol=x)

      So, the result is:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      1. Let .

        Then let and substitute :

        1. The integral of is .

        Now substitute back in:

      So, the result is:

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      1. Let .

        Then let and substitute :

        1. The integral of is .

        Now substitute back in:

      So, the result is:

    The result is:

  3. Add the constant of integration:
