Euler's substitution: Integrals of the form intR(x, sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c))dx are claculated with the aid of one of the followingthree Euler substitutions: i.sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c)=t+-x sqrt(a)if a gt 0 ii.sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c)=tx+-x sqrt(c)if c gt 0 iii.sqrt(ax^(2)+bx+c)=(x-a)t if ax^(2)+bx+c=a(x-a)(x-b) i.e., if alpha is real root ofax^(2)+bx+c=0 Which of the followingfunctions does not appear in the primitive of(1)/(1+sqrt(x^(2)+2x+2)) if t is a function of x ?

Answer»

`log_(e)|t+1|`
`log_(e)|t+2|`
`(1)/(t+2)`
none of these

Solution :Here, `a=1 GT 0.` Therefore, we make the SUBSTITUTION `sqrt(x^(2)+2x+2)=t-x.` Squaring both sides, we get
`2x+2tx=t^(2)-2 or x=(t^(2)-2)/(2(1+t)) or dx=(t^(2)+2t+2)/(2(1+t)^(2))dt`
`1+sqrt(x^(2)+2x+2)=1+t-(t^(2)-2)/(2(1+t))=(t^(2)+4t+4)/(2(1+t)).`
Substitutinginto the integral, we get
`I=int(2(1+t)(t^(2)+2t+2))/((t^(2)+4t+4)2(1+t)^(2))dt=int((t^(2)+2t+2)dt)/((1+t)(t+2)^(2))`
Now, let us EXPAND the obtained proper rational fraction into partial fractions:
`(t^(2)+2t+2)/((t+1)(t+2)^(2))=(A)/(t+1)+(B)/(t+2)+(D)/((t+2)^(2)).`
