integral of 1/(x*sqrt(x^2-4))

\int \frac{1}{x \cdot x ^{2} - 4} d x

\frac{1}{2} arcsec (\frac{1}{2} x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x x ^{2} - 4} d x

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

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

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Integral of a constant:

\int a d x = a x

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot 1 \cdot u

Substitute back

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

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

Simplify

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

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} arcsec (\frac{1}{2} x) + C

\int \frac{w ^{3}}{w ^{4} - 5} d w

\int \frac{4 x - 5}{x ^{2} - 4 x + 8} d x

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

\int 5 x^{2} e^{5 x} d x

\int \frac{30 x ^{3} - 60 x ^{2} + 8}{x ^{2} - 2 x} d x
