Primitive of Reciprocal of Root of a x + b by Root of p x + q/a p greater than 0
Theorem
Let $a, b, p, q \in \R$ such that $a p \ne b q$.
Let $a p > 0$.
Then:
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } } = \dfrac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {p \paren {a x + b} } + \sqrt {a \paren {p x + q} } } + C$
for all $x \in \R$ such that $\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} > 0$.
Proof
Lemma $1$
Let $u = \sqrt {a x + b}$.
Then:
- $\ds \sqrt {p x + q} = \sqrt {\paren {\frac p a} \paren {u^2 - \paren {\frac {b p - a q} p} } }$
$\Box$
Lemma $2$
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } } = \begin {cases}
\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {u^2 - \paren {\frac {b p - a q} p} } } & : a p > 0 \\ \ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {-a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {\paren {\frac {b p - a q} p} - u^2} } & : a p < 0 \end {cases}$
where:
- $u := \sqrt {a x + b}$
$\Box$
We have by hypothesis that $a p > 0$.
Thus:
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \frac {2 u \rd u} {a \sqrt {\frac p a} \sqrt {u^2 - \paren {\frac {b p - a q} p} } u}\) | Primitive of Function of $\sqrt {p x + q}$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {u^2 - \paren {\frac {b p - a q} p} } }\) | Primitive of Constant Multiple of Function |
Let $\dfrac {b p - a q} p > 0$.
Then we set:
- $(2): \quad c^2 :=\dfrac {b p - a q} p$
Then:
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt{u^2 - c^2} }\) | from $(2)$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {u + \sqrt {u^2 - c^2} } + C\) | Primitive of $\dfrac 1 {\sqrt {u^2 - c^2} }$: Logarithm Form | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {a x + b} + \sqrt {u^2 - \frac {b p - a q} p} } + C\) | substituting for $u$ and $c$ |
$\Box$
Let $\dfrac {b p - a q} p < 0$.
Then we set:
- $(3): \quad c^2 := -\dfrac {b p - a q} p$
Then:
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {u^2 + c^2} }\) | from $(3)$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {a x + b} + \sqrt {u^2 + c^2} } + C\) | Primitive of $\dfrac 1 {\sqrt {u^2 + c^2} }$: logarithm form | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {a x + b} + \sqrt {u^2 - \frac {b p - a q} p} } + C\) | substituting for $u$ and $c$ |
Thus we have in both cases that:
$\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } } = \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {a x + b} + \sqrt {u^2 - \frac {b p - a q} p} } + C$
Then:
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {a x + b} + \sqrt {u^2 - \frac {b p - a q} p} } + C\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {a x + b} + \sqrt {\frac a p} \sqrt {p x + q} } + C\) | Lemma $1$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\frac {\sqrt {p \paren {a x + b} } + \sqrt {a \paren {p x + q} } } {\sqrt p} } + C\) | simplifying | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {p \paren {a x + b} } + \sqrt {a \paren {p x + q} } } - \ln {\sqrt p} + C\) | Difference of Logarithms | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 2 {\sqrt {a p} } \ln \size {\sqrt {p \paren {a x + b} } + \sqrt {a \paren {p x + q} } } + C\) | subsuming $-\ln {\sqrt p}$ into the arbitrary constant |
