integral of 1/(x(sqrt(x^2-1)))

\int \frac{1}{x ( x ^{2} - 1 )} d x

arctan (x^{2} - 1) + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

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

Use the common integral:

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

= arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 1

= arctan (x^{2} - 1)

Add a constant to the solution

= arctan (x^{2} - 1) + C
