Trig substitution hard question help
\[\int\limits_{}^{}\sqrt{9x ^{2}-361}/x\]
i got \[\sqrt{9x ^{2}-361}-arcsec(3x/19) + C\]
wolfram alpha got that also but they simplified it to: \[\sqrt{9x ^{2}-361}+19\arctan(19/\sqrt{9x ^{2}-361})+C\]
becuase of restricted domain.
both are wrong according to webworks..
ops forgot to put a 19 behind arcsecant(3x/19)
\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{\sqrt{(3x)^{2}-19^{2}}}{x}dx\] \[3x=-19\sec \theta\] \[x=\frac{-19\sec \theta}{3}\] \[dx=-(19/3)\tan \theta \sec \theta d \theta\] \[\huge \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{\sqrt{(-19\sec \theta)^{2}-19^{2})}}{\frac{-19\sec \theta}{3}}(\frac{-19}{3}\tan \theta \sec \theta d \theta)\] \[\int\limits_{}^{}19\tan^2 \theta d \theta\] \[=19(\tan \theta -\theta)\]
that looks like exactly what i had earlier
but just made changed it in terms of x
nvm i got it!
thanks!! just had a typo
\[\int\limits_{}^{}19\tan^2θ-19\tan \theta dθ\] should be like this
thank you! and you were right. Your work made me see the typo
ok yw
