integral of 1/(sqrt(x^2-a^2))

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - a ^{2}} d x

ln (\frac{x ^{2} - a ^{2} + x}{∣ a ∣}) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ^{2} - a ^{2}} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int sec (u) d u

= \int sec (u) d u

Use the common integral:

\int sec (u) d u = ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

= ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

u = arcsec (\frac{1}{a} x)

= ln tan (arcsec (\frac{1}{a} x)) + sec (arcsec (\frac{1}{a} x))

Simplify

ln tan (arcsec (\frac{1}{a} x)) + sec (arcsec (\frac{1}{a} x)) : ln (\frac{x ^{2} - a ^{2} + x}{∣ a ∣})

= ln (\frac{x ^{2} - a ^{2} + x}{∣ a ∣})

Add a constant to the solution

= ln (\frac{x ^{2} - a ^{2} + x}{∣ a ∣}) + C

cos (x + y)

\int \frac{t}{t - 1} d t

\frac{d}{d x} (csc (5 x))

y = 3 lo g_{7} (x^{2} + 1)

\frac{d y}{d x}, 7 x^{2} - 280 x + y^{2} + 174 = 0
