Primitive of $\frac 1 {\sqrt {x^2 - a^2} }$: Logarithm Form: Also presented as

The standard presentation of this result is:

$\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } = \ln \size {x + \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } + C$

for $0 < a < \size x$.


Some sources present this in the form:

$\ds \int \frac {\d x} {\sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } = \ln \size {\dfrac {x + \sqrt {x^2 - a^2} } a} + C$

which is the same as above, except that the constant $a$ has not been subsumed into the arbitrary constant $C$.
