   (a) π/2

   (b) π/4

   (c) π/3

   (d) π/6

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$ is the derivative of $\sin^{-1}x$, so the definite integral is just $\sin^{-1}(1) - \sin^{-1}(0)$.

   We know the standard result $\displaystyle\int \frac{dx}{\sqrt{1-x^2}} = \sin^{-1}x + C$.

   So: …

   Q.If $\displaystyle\int_{\sqrt2}^{x} \dfrac{dt}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}} = \dfrac{\pi}{12}$, then the value of x is

   (a) 2

   (b) 1

   (c) 0

   (d) -1

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The antiderivative of $\dfrac{1}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}}$ is $\sec^{-1}t$; apply the limits and solve for $x$.

   We know the standard result:

   $\int\dfrac{dt}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}} = \sec^{-1}|t| + C$

   So

   $\int_{\sqrt2}^{x}\dfrac{dt}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}} = \sec^{-1}x - \sec^{-1}\sqrt2$

   Since $\sec\dfrac{\pi}{4} = \sqrt2$, we have $\sec^{-1}\sqrt2 = \dfrac{\pi}{4}$.

   Given this equals $\dfrac{\pi}{12}$:

   $\sec^{-1}x - \dfrac{\pi}{4} = \dfrac{\pi}{12}$ …
