Primitive of Reciprocal of Root of x squared minus a squared/Logarithm Form/Also presented as

Primitive of $\frac 1 {\sqrt {x^2 - a^2} }$: Logarithm Form: Also presented as
The standard presentation of this result is:

Some sources present this in the form:


 * $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } = \ln \size {\dfrac {x + \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } a} + C$

which is the same as above, except that the constant $a$ has not been subsumed into the arbitrary constant $C$.
