Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\frac{1}{(\text{x}^2-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{(\text{x}^2-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\text{ dx}$
Let $\text{x}=\frac{1}{\text{t}}$
$\text{dx}=-\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}\text{ dt}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=-\int\frac{\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}\text{ dt}}{\Big(\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}-1\Big)\sqrt{\Big(\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}+1\Big)}}$
$=-\int\frac{\text{t dt}}{(1-\text{t}^2)\sqrt{1+\text{t}^2}}$
Let $1+\text{t}^2=\text{u}^2$
$2\text{tdt}=2\text{udt}$
$\text{I}=\int\frac{\text{udu}}{(\text{u}^2-2)\text{u}}$
$=\int\frac{\text{du}}{\text{u}^2-2}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\log\bigg|\frac{\text{u}-\sqrt{2}}{\text{u}+\sqrt{2}}\bigg|+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\log\bigg|\frac{\sqrt{1+\text{t}^2}-\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{1+\text{t}^2}+\sqrt{2}}\bigg|+\text{C}$
Hence,
$\text{I}=-\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\log\bigg|\frac{\sqrt{2}\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}{\sqrt{2}\text{x}-\sqrt{\text{x}^2+1}}\bigg|+\text{C}$

A wholesale dealer deals in two kinds, A and B (say) of mixture of nuts. Each kg of mixture A contains 60 grams of almonds, 30 grams of cashew nuts and 30 grams of hazel nuts. Each kg of mixture B contains 30 grams of almonds, 60 grams of cashew nuts and 180 grams of hazel nuts. The remainder of both mixtures is per nuts. The dealer is contemplating to use mixtures A and B to make a bag which will contain at least 240 grams of almonds, 300 grams of cashew nuts and 540 grams of hazel nuts.
