Answer

$$\displaystyle{\int_0^2\frac{1}{\sqrt{4+t^2}}dt=\ln\left|\sqrt{2}+1\right|}\\$$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle{I=\int_0^2\frac{1}{\sqrt{4+t^2}}dt}\\$ $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{ll} t=2\tan\theta & t^2=4\tan^2\theta \\ & \\ \frac{dt}{d\theta}=2\sec^2\theta & dt=2\sec^2\theta\ d\theta \end{array}\right]$ Integration by substitution $\displaystyle{I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{4+4\tan^2}}2\sec^2\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\frac{1}{\sqrt{4\left(1+\tan^2\theta\right)}}2\sec^2\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\frac{1}{2\sec\theta}2\sec^2\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int_0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}\sec\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\left[\ln\left|\sec\theta+\tan\theta\right|\right]_0^{\frac{\pi }{4}}}\\ \displaystyle{I=\ln\left|\sqrt{2}+1\right|-\ln\left|1+0\right|}\\ \displaystyle{I=\ln\left|\sqrt{2}+1\right|}\\ $
