The denominator's derivative is $2x+2=2(x+1)$ , exactly twice the numerator. Let

$u=x^2+2x+2$ , $du=(2x+2)\,dx=2(x+1)\,dx$ :

$\int\frac{x+1}{x^2+2x+2}\,dx = \frac12\int\frac{du}{u} = \frac12\ln|u|+C = \frac12\ln(x^2+2x+2)+C$ …

›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: …

$\displaystyle\int_{\sqrt2}^{x} \dfrac{dt}{t\sqrt{t^2-1}} = \dfrac{\pi}{12}$
(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 $\dfrac{\pi}{12}$ :

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