Question

Integrate the function:

`sqrt(x^2 + 4x +1)`

Sum

Solution

Let `I = int sqrt(x^2 + 4x + 1)`  dx

`= int sqrt((x^2 + 4x + 4) - 3)`  dx

`= int sqrt((x + 2)^2 - (sqrt3)^2)` dx

`= ((x + 2))/2 sqrt((x + 2)^2 - 3) - 3/2  log abs ((x + 2) + sqrt ((x + 2)^2 + 3)) + C`           `...[∵ sqrt (x^2 - a^2) dx = x/2 sqrt (x^2 - a^2) - a^2/2 log |x + sqrt (x^2 - a^2)| + C]`

`= ((x + 2))/2 sqrt(x^2 + 4x + 1) - 3/2 log  abs((x + 2) + sqrt(x^2 + 4x + 1)) + C`
