integral of 1/(xsqrt(x^2-4))

\int \frac{1}{x 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

ln (\frac{7 x ^{2} + 8 x + 5}{8 x ^{3} - 1})

f (x) = x e^{x} at x

\int 10 t d t
