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

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\frac{1}{(\text{x}-1)\sqrt{\text{x}^2+\text{x}+1}}\text{ dx}$
Let $\text{x}+1=\frac{1}{\text{t}}$
$\text{dt}=-\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}\text{ dt}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=-\int\frac{\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}\text{ dt}}{\frac{1}{\text{t}}\sqrt{\Big(\frac{1}{\text{t}^2}+\frac{1}{\text{t}}-1\Big)}}$
$=-\int\frac{\text{dt}}{\sqrt{1+\text{t}-\text{t}^2}}$
$=-\int\frac{\text{dt}}{\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}-\big(\frac{1}{4}-\text{t}+\text{t}^2\big)}}$
$=-\int\frac{\text{dt}}{\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}-\big(\text{t}-\frac{1}{2}\big)^2}}$
$=-\sin^{-1}\Bigg(\frac{\text{t}-\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}}\Bigg)+\text{C}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=-\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{2\text{t}-1}{\sqrt{5}}\Big)+\text{C}$ $\Big[\text{When}\text{t}=\frac{1}{\text{x}+1}\Big]$

Of the students in a college, it is known that $60\%$ reside in a hostel and $40\%$ do not reside in hostel. Previous year results report that $30\%$ of students residing in hostel attain $A$ grade and $20\%$ of ones not residing in hostel attain $A$ grade in their annual examination. At the end of the year, one students is chosen at random from the college and he has an $A$ grade. What is the probability that the selected student is a hosteler?
