Answer» `log_(e)|t+1|` `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)).` |

|
Answer» `log_(e)|t|` SINCE here `c=1 gt 0, ` we can APPLY the SECOND Euler substitution: `sqrt(x^(2)-x+1)=tx-1` ` or (2t-1)x=(t^(2)-1)x^(2),x=(2t-1)/(t^(2)-1)` Substitutinginto I, we GET an integral of a RATIONAL fraction: `int (dx)/(x+sqrt(x^(2)-x+1))=int(-2t^(2)+2t-2)/(t(t-1)(t+1)^(2))dt` Now, `(-2t^(2)+2t-2)/(t(t-1)(t+1))=(A)/(t)+(B)/(t-1)+(D)/((t+1)^(2))+(E)/(t+1)` |
