integral of sqrt(t^2+1)

\int t^{2} + 1 d t

\frac{1}{2} t 1 + t^{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln t + 1 + t^{2} + C

Solution steps

\int t^{2} + 1 d t

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int sec^{3} (u) d u

Apply Integral Reduction

= \frac{sec ^{2} ( u ) sin ( u )}{2} + \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int sec (u) d u

\int sec (u) d u = ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

= \frac{sec ^{2} ( u ) sin ( u )}{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (u) + sec (u) ∣

Substitute back

u = arctan (t)

= \frac{sec ^{2} ( arctan ( t ) ) sin ( arctan ( t ) )}{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (arctan (t)) + sec (arctan (t)) ∣

Simplify

\frac{sec ^{2} ( arctan ( t ) ) sin ( arctan ( t ) )}{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln ∣ tan (arctan (t)) + sec (arctan (t)) ∣ : \frac{1}{2} t 1 + t^{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln t + 1 + t^{2}

= \frac{1}{2} t 1 + t^{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln t + 1 + t^{2}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{2} t 1 + t^{2} + \frac{1}{2} ln t + 1 + t^{2} + C
