finding integral with hyperbolic function,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{x^{2} + 6x + } } dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah it is x^2 + 6x +8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i factor the polynomial in the sqrt to (x+3)^3 -1, then i use \[\sinh^{2} y = (x+3)^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dx = cosh y dy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get Arcsinh(x+3) as my final answer, but it doesn't seem quite right

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Sinh = a bunch of exponentials. So the inverse will involve logarithms. The correct answer is supposed to be a big logarithm. So you're probably on the right track. We just need a way to rewrite it. hmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, i think i got something wrong, (x+3)^2 should be (cosh y)^2 cuz i can turn the polynomial to (sinh y)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if tat true i should get Arccosh(x+3), after that i need to express them in exponential?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Mmm maybe I missed something somewhere, I thought you were on the right track the first time. Does the integral simplify to,\[\Large \int\limits dy \quad=\quad y \qquad\to\qquad y=arcsinh(x+3)\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh the identity doesn't work that way does it XD haha my bad!

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\Large \int\limits \frac{1}{\sqrt{(x+3)^2-1}}dx\]\[\Large x+3=\cosh y \qquad\to\qquad dx=\sinh y\;dy\]\[\Large \int\limits \frac{1}{\sqrt{\cosh^2y-1}}(\sinh y\;dy)\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Arccosh? ok ok ok i see what you were doing there :3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

right? +_+ or no? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah arc cosh(x+3)

zepdrix (zepdrix):

hmm

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Well if you're allowed to use an identity, we can use this:\[\Large \cosh^{-1}x \quad=\quad \ln\left(x+\sqrt{x^2+1}\right)\] But if we need to actually work it out, I'm trying to remember how to get there. :p heh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i am figuring how to eleminate the arccosh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Seems to me like everything you guys did is correct, one would end up with a property of the angle only, or the inverse of the hyperbolic function respective. \[\Large y(x)=\sinh(x)=\frac{1}{2}(e^{-x}+e^x) \]such that:\[\Large x=\frac{1}{2}(e^{-y}+e^y) \] or after a substitution u=e^y you might get: \[\Large x=\frac{1}{2}(u^{-1}+u) \] multiply by u to get the quadratic: \[\Large 2u^2-2xu+1=0 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correction**\[\Large u^2-2xu+1=0 \] for u=e^y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cosh y +\sinh + y = e^{y} , \cosh y = x+3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\sinh y = \sqrt{\cosh^{2}-1} = \sqrt{x^{2}+6x + 8}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i get the same answer in wolframalpha, y = ln( x+3 + sqrt(x2 + 6x + 8))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks guys
