integral of xsqrt(4x^2-1)

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

\frac{1}{12} (4 x^{2} - 1)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C

Solution steps

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

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{u}{8} d u

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \int u d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}}

Substitute back

u = 4 x^{2} - 1

= \frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{3} (4 x^{2} - 1)^{\frac{3}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{8} \cdot \frac{2}{3} (4 x^{2} - 1)^{\frac{3}{2}} : \frac{1}{12} (4 x^{2} - 1)^{\frac{3}{2}}

= \frac{1}{12} (4 x^{2} - 1)^{\frac{3}{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{12} (4 x^{2} - 1)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C
