Theorem
Let $\size x > a$.
Then:
- $\ds \int \frac {\d x} {a^2 - x^2} = \dfrac 1 {2 a} \map \ln {\dfrac {x + a} {x - a} } + C$
Proof
Let $\size x > a$.
Then:
\(\ds \int \frac {\d x} {a^2 - x^2}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 a \arcoth {\frac x a} + C\) | Primitive of $\dfrac 1 {a^2 - x^2}$: $\arcoth$ form | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 a \paren {\dfrac 1 2 \map \ln {\dfrac {x + a} {x - a} } } + C\) | $\arcoth \dfrac x a$ in Logarithm Form | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \dfrac 1 {2 a} \map \ln {\frac {x + a} {x - a} } + C\) | simplifying |
