Answer

1. substitution: $u=x^{2}+4$ then 2. Power Rule

Work Step by Step

The derivative of $(x^{2}+x)$ is $x, $which is in the numerator... 1. we substitute $\left[\begin{array}{ll} u=x^{2}+4, & \\ du=2xdx & xdx=\frac{1}{2}du \end{array}\right]$ after which the integral takes the form $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\int\frac{1}{u^{3}}du=\frac{1}{2}\int u^{-3}du$, 2. we recognize the form $\displaystyle \int x^{n}dx$ which is solved by using the Power Rule.
