integral of 1/(xsqrt(2x-4))

\int \frac{1}{x 2 x - 4} d x

arctan (\frac{1}{2} 2 x - 4) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{x 2 x - 4} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{2}{u ^{2} + 4} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 4} d u

Apply Integral Substitution

= 2 \cdot \int \frac{1}{2 ( v ^{2} + 1 )} d v

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v

Use the common integral:

\int \frac{1}{v ^{2} + 1} d v = arctan (v)

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (v)

Substitute back

= 2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{2 x - 4}{2})

Simplify

2 \cdot \frac{1}{2} arctan (\frac{2 x - 4}{2}) : arctan (\frac{1}{2} 2 x - 4)

= arctan (\frac{1}{2} 2 x - 4)

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (\frac{1}{2} 2 x - 4) + C
