Integration of \(\int_{0}^{D/2} \frac{2R^{2}x\,dx}{(R^{2} + x^{2})^{2}}\) is

  • A.\(\frac{R^{2}}{R^{2} + D^{2}}\)
  • B.\(\frac{4R^{2}}{4R^{2} + D^{2}}\)
  • C.\(\frac{D^{2}}{R^{2} + D^{2}}\)
  • D.\(\frac{D^{2}}{4R^{2} + D^{2}}\)

Answer: D

The integral equals \(\frac{D^{2}}{4R^{2} + D^{2}}\).

Since \(\frac{d}{dx}(R^{2} + x^{2}) = 2x\), the antiderivative of \(\frac{2x}{(R^{2} + x^{2})^{2}}\) is \(-\frac{1}{R^{2} + x^{2}}\):

\[ \begin{aligned} I &= R^{2}\left[-\frac{1}{R^{2} + x^{2}}\right]_{0}^{D/2} \\ &= R^{2}\left(\frac{1}{R^{2}} - \frac{4}{4R^{2} + D^{2}}\right) \\ &= 1 - \frac{4R^{2}}{4R^{2} + D^{2}} = \frac{D^{2}}{4R^{2} + D^{2}} \end{aligned} \]

\(\frac{4R^{2}}{4R^{2} + D^{2}}\) is the subtracted term alone, and the options with \(R^{2} + D^{2}\) use \(D\) instead of \(D/2\) as the upper limit.
