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

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

\frac{x ^{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} x x^{2} - 1 - \frac{1}{2} ln x + x^{2} - 1 + C

Solution steps

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

Multiply by the conjugate of

x - x^{2} - 1 : \frac{1}{x + x ^{2} - 1}

= \int \frac{1}{\frac{1}{x + x ^{2} - 1}} d x

Simplify

= \int x + x^{2} - 1 d x

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \int x d x + \int x^{2} - 1 d x

\int x d x = \frac{x ^{2}}{2}

\int x^{2} - 1 d x = \frac{1}{2} x x^{2} - 1 - \frac{1}{2} ln x + x^{2} - 1

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} x x^{2} - 1 - \frac{1}{2} ln x + x^{2} - 1

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{x ^{2}}{2} + \frac{1}{2} x x^{2} - 1 - \frac{1}{2} ln x + x^{2} - 1 + C

\int e^{x} (3 + 4 e^{x})^{4} d x

\int \frac{1}{7 x ^{2} + 49} d x

\int cos (3 x) + sin (2 x) d x

\int x^{2} e^{- in x} d x

\int \frac{e ^{x}}{( cos ( e ^{x} ) ) ^{2}} d x
