Sine Substitution: Radical and x2 in the denominator: Find
.
Here we can use the Sine Substitution Rule with
:
Let
,
:
Upon substitution, we have
![]()
![]()
We can use the Sine-Cosine identity to get:
: Now we use Csc-Sine identity to get a trig function in the numerator:
.
We now use the integral leading to the cotangent:
.
We can convert back to an expression in x, using the Sine Diagram:
, or
, or
. With this result, we finally get
.
