  • A
    $\frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}\log \left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + x\sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - x\sqrt 2 }}} \right\} + c$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}\log \left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - \sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + \sqrt 2 }}} \right\} + c$
  • $\frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}\log \left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - x\sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + x\sqrt 2 }}} \right\} + c$
  • D
    None of these

Answer

Correct option: C.
$\frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}\log \left\{ {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - x\sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + x\sqrt 2 }}} \right\} + c$
c
(c) Put $x = \tan \theta \Rightarrow dx = {\sec ^2}\theta \,d\theta ,$ then
$\int_{}^{} {\frac{{dx}}{{({x^2} - 1)\sqrt {{x^2} + 1} }} = \int_{}^{} {\frac{{{{\sec }^2}\theta \,d\theta }}{{({{\tan }^2}\theta - 1)\sec \theta }}} } = \int_{}^{} {\frac{{\cos \theta \,d\theta }}{{(2{{\sin }^2}\theta - 1)}}} $
Again put $t = \sin \theta \Rightarrow dt = \cos \theta \,d\theta ,$ then it reduces to
$\int_{}^{} {\frac{{dt}}{{(2{t^2} - 1)}}} = \frac{1}{2}\int_{}^{} {\frac{{dt}}{{{t^2} - {{\left( {\frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}}}} = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}\log \left( {\frac{{t - \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}}}{{t + \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}}}} \right) + c$
$ = \frac{1}{{2\sqrt 2 }}\log \left( {\frac{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} - x\sqrt 2 }}{{\sqrt {1 + {x^2}} + x\sqrt 2 }}} \right) + c$.
