Answer

$$ \int_{1 / \sqrt{3}}^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{8}{1+x^{2}} d x =\frac{4 \pi}{3} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ \begin{aligned} \int_{1 / \sqrt{3}}^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{8}{1+x^{2}} d x &=8\int_{1 / \sqrt{3}}^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{d x}{1+x^{2}} \\ &=[8 \arctan x]_{1 / \sqrt{3}}^{\sqrt{3}} \\ &=8\left(\arctan (\sqrt{3}) -\arctan (1 / \sqrt{3}) \right) \\ &=8\left(\frac{\pi}{3}-\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \\ &=8\left(\frac{\pi}{6}\right) \\ &=\frac{4 \pi}{3} \end{aligned} $$
