integral question below

OpenStudy (goten77):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ x }{ \sqrt{x ^{2}+4x+3}}dx =\int\limits \frac{ x }{\sqrt{ (x+2)^{2}-1}}\]

OpenStudy (goten77):

i got a little bit more work so far hold on

OpenStudy (goten77):

x+2 = sec(x) is what im told to do.. and i get this then x= sec(x)-2

hartnn (hartnn):

i would have written x = A d/dx (x^2+4x+3) + B find A,B , then separate the denominator.... but i still have to figure out the best way....

OpenStudy (goten77):

dx=sec(beta)tan(beta)d(beta) ^ yes i forgot to change betas and x symbols but .... ya kno what i meant XD

hartnn (hartnn):

if you are told to substitute that , then did u get (sec -2) sec ?

OpenStudy (goten77):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \sec(u)-2 }{ \sqrt{\sec(u)^{2}}-1 }\sec(u)\tan(u)du\]

hartnn (hartnn):

the -1 is inside the sqrt sign and sec^2 -1 =... ?
