integral of 2xsqrt(x^2-1)

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

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

Solution steps

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

Apply u-substitution

= 2 \cdot \int u^{2} d u

Apply the Power Rule

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

Substitute back

u = x^{2} - 1

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

Simplify

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

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

Add a constant to the solution

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