Theorem
Let $a, b, p, q \in \R$ such that $a p \ne b q$.
Let $a > 0$ and $p < 0$.
Then:
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } } = \dfrac {-1} {\sqrt {-a p} } \map \arcsin {\dfrac {2 a p x + b p + a q} {a q - b p} } + C$
for all $x \in \R$ such that $\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} > 0$.
Proof
Completing the Square
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } } = \begin {cases}
\ds \frac 1 {\sqrt {a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {u^2 - \paren {b p - a q}^2} } & : a p > 0 \\ \ds \frac 1 {\sqrt {-a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {\paren {b p - a q}^2 - u^2} } & : a p < 0 \end {cases}$
where:
- $u := 2 a p x + b p + a q$
$\Box$
Hence:
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {\paren {a x + b} \paren {p x + q} } }\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {\sqrt {-a p} } \int \frac {\d u} {\sqrt {\paren {b p - a q}^2 - u^2} }\) | Completing the Square above, as $a p < 0$ | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {\sqrt {-a p} } \map \arcsin {\dfrac u {b p - a q} } + C\) | Primitive of $\dfrac 1 {\sqrt {a^2 - x^2} }$ | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {\sqrt {-a p} } \map \arcsin {\dfrac {2 a p x + b p + a q} {b p - a q} } + C\) | substituting for $u$ from Completing the Square above | ||||||||||||
We could finish here, but we wish to present the result in the format given, so: | |||||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {-1} {\sqrt {-a p} } \map \arcsin {-\dfrac {2 a p x + b p + a q} {b p - a q} } + C\) | Arcsine is Odd Function | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {-1} {\sqrt {-a p} } \map \arcsin {\dfrac {2 a p x + b p + a q} {a q - b p} } + C\) | simplifying |
