Question

Integrate the function:

`sqrt(x^2 + 4x - 5)`

Sum

Solution

Let `I = int sqrt(x^2 + 4x - 5)` dx

`= int sqrt(x^2 + 4x - 9)` dx

`= int sqrt((x + 2)^2 - (3)^2)` dx

`= ((x + 2)/2) sqrt((x + 2)^2 - (3)^2) - 9/2  log [(x + 2) + sqrt((x + 2)^2 - (3)^2] + C`             `...[int 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 - 5) = 9/ 2  log [x + 2 + sqrt(x^2 + 4x - 5)]  + C`
