Question
Integrate the function $\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+6}$

Answer

$I=\int \sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+6} d x$ 
= $\int \sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+4+2} d x$ 
= $\int \sqrt{(x+2)^{2}+(\sqrt{2})^{2}} d x$ 
We know that,
$\int \sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}} d x=\frac{x}{2} \sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}}+\frac{a^{2}}{2} \log |x+\sqrt{x^{2}+a^{2}}|+C$ 
Therefore,
$I=\frac{(x+2)}{2} \sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+6}+\frac{2}{2} \log |(x+2)+\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+6}|+C$ 
= $\frac{(x+2)}{2} \sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+6}+\log |(x+2)+\sqrt{x^{2}+4 x+6}|+C$
