Theorem
For $x \in \R_{\ne 0}$:
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {x \sqrt {x^2 + a^2} } = -\frac 1 a \map \ln {\frac a x + \frac {\sqrt {a^2 + x^2} } {\size x} } + C$
Proof
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {x \sqrt {x^2 + a^2} }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\frac 1 a \arcsch \frac x a + C\) | Primitive of Reciprocal of $x \sqrt {x^2 + a^2}$: $\arcsch$ form | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds -\frac 1 a \map \ln {\frac a x + \frac {\sqrt {a^2 + x^2} } {\size x} } + C\) | $\arcsch \dfrac x a$ in Logarithm Form |
$\blacksquare$
