∫xx2−1 dx\displaystyle\int x\sqrt{x^2-1}\,dx is equal to : ( where C is an arbitrary constant )

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Substitute t=x2−1t = x^2-1, giving dt=2x dxdt = 2x\,dx.

Then the integral is 12∫t dt=12⋅23t3/2=13(x2−1)3/2+C\dfrac{1}{2}\int \sqrt{t}\,dt = \dfrac{1}{2}\cdot\dfrac{2}{3}t^{3/2} = \dfrac{1}{3}(x^2-1)^{3/2}+C.
