Theorem
Let $a \in \R_{\ne 0}$.
Then:
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } = \frac 1 {\paren {2 n - 1} c \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} } + \frac 1 c \int \frac {\d x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} } - \frac b {2 c} \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }$
Proof
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \frac {c \rd x} {c x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | multiplying top and bottom by $c$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 c \int \frac {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c - a x^2 - b x} \rd x} {c x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 c \int \frac {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } - \frac a c \int \frac {x^2 \rd x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } - \frac b c \int \frac {x \rd x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | Linear Combination of Primitives | |||||||||||
\(\text {(1)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 c \int \frac {\d x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} } - \frac a c \int \frac {x \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } - \frac b c \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | simplifying |
Now take:
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds \int \frac {x \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \frac {2 a x \rd x} {2 a \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | multiplying top and bottom by $2 a$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \frac {\paren {2 a x + b - b} \rd x} {2 a \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\text {(2)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {2 a} \int \frac {\paren {2 a x + b} \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } - \frac b {2 a} \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | Linear Combination of Primitives |
Let:
\(\ds z\) | \(=\) | \(\ds a x^2 + b x + c\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \frac {\d z} {\d x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 2 a x + b\) | Derivative of Power | ||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \int \frac {\paren {2 a x + b} \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int z^{-n - \frac 1 2} \rd z\) | Integration by Substitution | ||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {z^{-n + \frac 1 2} } {-n + \frac 1 2}\) | Primitive of Power | |||||||||||
\(\text {(3)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {-2} {\paren {2 n - 1} \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} }\) | simplifying |
Thus:
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds \int \frac {x \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {2 a} \int \frac {\paren {2 a x + b} \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } - \frac b {2 a} \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | from $(2)$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {2 a} \paren {\frac {-2} {\paren {2 n - 1} \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} } } - \frac b {2 a} \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | from $(3)$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {-1} {a \paren {2 n - 1} \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} } - \frac b {2 a} \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | simplifying |
So:

\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 c \int \frac {\d x} {x \paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n - \frac 1 2} } - \frac a c \int \frac {x \rd x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} } - \frac b c \int \frac {\d x} {\paren {a x^2 + b x + c}^{n + \frac 1 2} }\) | from $(1)$ | |||||||||||
