Answer

$$\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x+4}{3}\right)+C $$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \int \frac{d x}{x^{2}+8 x+25}$$ Since $$x^2+8x+25= (x+4)^2+9 $$ Then \begin{aligned} \int \frac{d x}{x^{2}+8 x+25} &=\int \frac{d x}{(x+4)^{2}+3^{2}}\\ &=\frac{1}{3}\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{x+4}{3}\right)+C \end{aligned}
