Question
Evaluate the following integrals:$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{5-4\text{x}-2\text{x}^2}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{5-4\text{x}-2\text{x}^2}}$
$=\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{2\big[\frac{5}{2}-2\text{x}-\text{x}^2}\big]}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}-2\text{x}-\text{x}^2}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}(\text{x}^2+2\text{x})}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}-(\text{x}^2+2\text{x}+1-1)}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{\frac{5}{2}-(\text{x}+1)^2+1}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{\frac{7}{2}-(\text{x}+1)^2}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\int\frac{\text{dx}}{\sqrt{\Big(\frac{\sqrt7}{\sqrt3}\Big)^2-(\text{x}+1)^2}}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\sin^{-1}\Big(\frac{(\text{x}+1)\sqrt2}{\sqrt7}\Big)+\text{C}$
$=\frac{1}{\sqrt2}\sin^{-1}\Big(\sqrt{\frac{2}{7}}(\text{x}+1)\Big)+\text{C}$
