Write the numerator as A⋅(derivative of the quantity under the root)+BA\cdot(\text{derivative of the quantity under the root})+B, split into a 2⋯2\sqrt{\cdots} piece and a Type I/II square-root piece.

(i) Let I=∫2x+19+4x−x2 dxI=\displaystyle\int\frac{2x+1}{\sqrt{9+4x-x^2}}\,dx.

Step 1. Write 2x+1=A(4−2x)+B2x+1=A(4-2x)+B. −2A=2⇒A=−1-2A=2\Rightarrow A=-1; 4A+B=1⇒B=54A+B=1\Rightarrow B=5.

Step 2. I=−∫4−2x9+4x−x2 dx+5∫dx9+4x−x2=−29+4x−x2+5∫dx9+4x−x2I=-\displaystyle\int\frac{4-2x}{\sqrt{9+4x-x^2}}\,dx+5\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{9+4x-x^2}}=-2\sqrt{9+4x-x^2}+5\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{9+4x-x^2}}.

Step 3. 9+4x−x2=−[(x−2)2−4−9]=13−(x−2)29+4x-x^2=-\big[(x-2)^2-4-9\big]=13-(x-2)^2, so ∫dx13−(x−2)2=sin⁡−1 ⁣(x−213)+c\displaystyle\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{13-(x-2)^2}}=\sin^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{x-2}{\sqrt{13}}\right)+c. Hence I=−29+4x−x2+5sin⁡−1 ⁣(x−213)+cI=-2\sqrt{9+4x-x^2}+5\sin^{-1}\!\left(\dfrac{x-2}{\sqrt{13}}\right)+c.

(ii) Let I=∫x+2x2−1 dx=∫xx2−1 dx+2∫dxx2−1I=\displaystyle\int\frac{x+2}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}\,dx=\int\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}\,dx+2\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}.

Step 1. ∫xx2−1 dx=x2−1\displaystyle\int\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}\,dx=\sqrt{x^2-1} (an ∫f′(x)[f(x)]−1/2dx\int f'(x)[f(x)]^{-1/2}dx form, f=x2−1f=x^2-1).

Step 2. 2∫dxx2−1=2log⁡∣x+x2−1∣+c2\displaystyle\int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{x^2-1}}=2\log\left|x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right|+c (Type I). So I=x2−1+2log⁡∣x+x2−1∣+cI=\sqrt{x^2-1}+2\log\left|x+\sqrt{x^2-1}\right|+c.

(iii) Let I=∫2x+3x2+4x+1 dxI=\displaystyle\int\frac{2x+3}{\sqrt{x^2+4x+1}}\,dx. …
