23–68. Indefinite integrals Determine the following indefinite integrals. Check your work by differentiation.


∫ (4/x√(x² - 1))dx

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Rewrite the integral in a more convenient form: \( \int \frac{4}{x\sqrt{x^2 - 1}} \, dx \). Notice that the integrand suggests a substitution involving a trigonometric identity.
Use the substitution \( x = \sec(\theta) \), which implies \( dx = \sec(\theta)\tan(\theta) \, d\theta \) and \( \sqrt{x^2 - 1} = \tan(\theta) \). Substitute these into the integral.
After substitution, the integral becomes \( \int \frac{4}{\sec(\theta) \cdot \tan(\theta)} \cdot \sec(\theta)\tan(\theta) \, d\theta \). Simplify the expression by canceling terms.
The simplified integral is \( \int 4 \, d\theta \), which is straightforward to integrate. Perform the integration to get \( 4\theta + C \), where \( C \) is the constant of integration.
Finally, reverse the substitution \( x = \sec(\theta) \) to express \( \theta \) in terms of \( x \). Since \( \theta = \sec^{-1}(x) \), the result becomes \( 4\sec^{-1}(x) + C \). Verify the solution by differentiating it to ensure it matches the original integrand.

Indefinite Integrals

Indefinite integrals represent a family of functions whose derivative is the integrand. They are expressed without limits and include a constant of integration, typically denoted as 'C'. The process of finding an indefinite integral is known as integration, which is the reverse operation of differentiation.
