Trig substitution problem. Stuck but close.

I have this problem:



$$int_0^2 sqrt{1 + 4x^2}$$



Here's how I start. I focus on finding the antiderivative:
$$ int sqrt{4 * (frac{1}{4} + x^2)}$$



$$ int 2* sqrt{frac{1}{4} + x^2)} dx$$



so let $x = frac{1}{2} * tan{theta}$ so $dx = frac{1}{2} * sec^2theta dtheta$



so...



$$ int 2 sqrt{frac{1}{4} + frac{1}{4}tan^2{theta}} * frac{1}{2}sec^2{theta} cdot dtheta$$



and by $sec^2{theta} = 1 + tan^2{theta}$:



$$ int 2 cdot frac{1}{2} sec{theta} cdot frac{1}{2} sec^2{theta} cdot dtheta$$



$$ int frac{1}{2} sec{theta} cdot sec^2{theta} cdot dtheta$$ Let's call the above line : (1)



and now integration by parts:



$u = sec{theta}$ and so $du = sec{theta}tan{theta}$



$dv = sec^2{theta}$ and so $v = tan{theta}$



so = $$frac{1}{2} (cdot sec{theta}tan{theta} - int tan^2{theta} sec{theta} cdot dtheta)$$



and so since $tan^2{theta} = sec^2{theta} - 1$



$$frac{1}{2} (cdot sec{theta}tan{theta} - int sec^3{theta} - int sec{theta} cdot dtheta)$$



So using (1) we have:



$$(frac{1}{2} cdot sec{theta} cdot tan{theta} - frac{1}{2} int sec^3{theta} - frac{1}{2} int sec{theta} cdot dtheta) = int frac{1}{2} sec{theta} cdot sec^2{theta} cdot dtheta = int frac{1}{2} sec^3{theta} dtheta$$



combining like sec^3{theta} terms:



$$ (frac{1}{2} cdot sec{theta} cdot tan{theta} - frac{1}{2} int sec{theta} cdot dtheta) = sec^3{theta} $$



and now multiplying by $frac{1}{2}$ again:



$$ (frac{1}{4} cdot sec{theta} cdot tan{theta} - frac{1}{4} int sec{theta} cdot dtheta) = frac{1}{2} sec^3{theta} $$



But what's the antiderivative of $int sec{theta} dtheta$ ?



I'm told to do this but I don't really get it:

    wow. A bit cleaner to use $x = frac{1}{2} sinh t$ although you still need some "double angle" formula.

begin{align}
int sec theta , dtheta = int frac{sec^2 theta + sec theta tan theta}{sec theta + tan theta} , dtheta=ln (sec theta + tan theta) + c
end{align}



Note that this is due to the numerator is the derivative of the denominator.



$$int frac{f'(t)}{f(t)} , dt=ln f(t) + c$$
