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

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

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

Solution steps

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

Apply Trigonometric Substitution

= \int \frac{sec ( u )}{2 tan ^{2} ( u )} d u

Take the constant out:

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

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

Rewrite using trig identities

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

Apply u-substitution

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int \frac{1}{v ^{2}} d v

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{v})

Substitute back

= \frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{sin ( arcsec ( 2 x ) )})

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (- \frac{1}{sin ( arcsec ( 2 x ) )}) : - \frac{x}{( 4 x ^{2} - 1 ) ^{\frac{1}{2}}}

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

Add a constant to the solution

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