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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

: \int sec (u) d u

= 2 \cdot \int sec (u) d u

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

u = arcsec (\frac{1}{2} x)

= 2 ln tan (arcsec (\frac{1}{2} x)) + sec (arcsec (\frac{1}{2} x))

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int \frac{5}{y} + sin (y) d y

\int \frac{a r g sinh ( x )}{x ^{2} + 1}

\int \frac{5}{2} t^{2} d t

\int (cos^{7} (y) sin^{2} (y)) d y

\int \frac{1}{1 - e ^{- 3 x}} d x
