Theorem
- $\ds \int x^m \arsech \frac x a \rd x = \dfrac {x^{m + 1} } {m + 1} \arsech \dfrac x a + \dfrac 1 {m + 1} \int \dfrac {x^m} {\sqrt {a^2 - x^2} } \rd x + C$
where $\arsech$ denotes the real area hyperbolic secant.
Corollary
- $\ds \int x^m \paren {-\sech^{-1} \frac x a} \rd x = -\dfrac {x^{m + 1} } {m + 1} \paren {-\sech^{-1} \frac x a} \dfrac x a - \dfrac 1 {m + 1} \int \dfrac {x^m} {\sqrt {a^2 - x^2} } \rd x + C$
where $-\sech^{-1}$ denotes the negative branch of the real inverse hyperbolic secant multifunction.
Proof
With a view to expressing the primitive in the form:
- $\ds \int u \frac {\d v} {\d x} \rd x = u v - \int v \frac {\d u} {\d x} \rd x$
let:
\(\ds u\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \arsech \frac x a\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \frac {\d u} {\d x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {-a} {x \sqrt {a^2 - x^2} }\) | Derivative of $\arsech \dfrac x a$ |
and let:
\(\ds \frac {\d v} {\d x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds x^m\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds v\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {x^{m + 1} } {m + 1}\) | Primitive of Power |
Then:
\(\ds \int \frac {\arsech \dfrac x a \rd x} {x^2}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \paren {\arsech \frac x a} \paren {\frac {x^{m + 1} } {m + 1} } - \int \paren {\frac {x^{m + 1} } {m + 1} } \paren {\frac {-a} {x \sqrt {a^2 - x^2} } } \rd x + C\) | Integration by Parts | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {x^{m + 1} } {m + 1} \arsech \frac x a + \frac a {m + 1} \int \frac {x^m} {\sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } \rd x + C\) | simplifying |
