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

integral

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

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

Solution steps

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

= ln ∣ tan (arcsec (x)) + sec (arcsec (x)) ∣

Simplify

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

= ln x^{2} - 1 + x

Add a constant to the solution

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

\int - cos (x) 2 d x

\int (x - 5) 2 x d x

\int \frac{s}{s + 1} d s

\int \frac{3 x - 4}{x ^{3} - 4 x} d x

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