integral of 1/(3xsqrt(4x^2-1))

\int \frac{1}{3 x 4 x ^{2} - 1} d x

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

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{3 x 4 x ^{2} - 1} d x

Take the constant out:

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

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{x 4 x ^{2} - 1} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \frac{1}{3} \cdot \int \frac{1}{u ^{2} + 1} d u

Use the common integral:

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

= \frac{1}{3} arctan (u)

Substitute back

u = 4 x^{2} - 1

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

Add a constant to the solution

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