Question
Evaluate the following.
`int 1/(sqrt("x"^2 -8"x" - 20))` dx
Advertisements
Solution
Let I = `int 1/(sqrt("x"^2 -8"x" - 20))` dx
`= int 1/(sqrt ("x"^2 - 2 * 4"x" + 16 - 16 - 20))` dx
`= int "dx"/sqrt(("x - 4")^2 - 36)` dx
`= int "dx"/(sqrt(("x - 4")^2 - 6^2))` dx
`= log |("x - 4") + sqrt(("x - 4")^2 - 6^2)|` + c
∴ I = `log |("x - 4") + sqrt("x"^2 - 8"x" - 20)|` + c
