integral of 1/(x(x+1)^{1/2)}

integral

\frac{1}{x ( x + 1 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x ( x + 1 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}} d x

Apply u-substitution

: \int \frac{2}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

= \int \frac{2}{u ^{2} - 1} d u

Take the constant out:

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

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

Factor

u^{2} - 1 : - (- u^{2} + 1)

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{- ( - u ^{2} + 1 )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= 2 (- \int \frac{1}{- u ^{2} + 1} d u)

Use the common integral:

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

= 2 (- (\frac{ln ∣ u + 1 ∣}{2} - \frac{ln ∣ u - 1 ∣}{2}))

Substitute back

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

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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

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

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

\frac{0.001}{( 0.001 x + 1 ) ^{2}}

x - 3

2 cos (x) - sin^{3} (x) cos^{3} (x)
