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

Answer

$\text{I}=\int\sqrt{4\text{x}^2-5}\text{dx}$
$=\int\sqrt{4\Big(\text{x}^2-\frac{5}{4}\Big)}\text{dx}$
$=2\int\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\Big(\frac{\sqrt5}{2}}\Big)^2\text{dx}$
$=2\Big[\frac{\text{x}}{2}\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\frac{5}{4}}-\frac{5}{8}\int\Big|\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\frac{5}{4}}\Big|\Big]+\text{C}$
$\Big[\because\ \int\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\text{a}^2}\text{dx}=\frac{1}{2}\text{x}\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\text{a}^2}\frac{1}{2}\text{a}^2\int\Big|\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\text{a}^2}\Big|+\text{C}\Big]$
$=\text{x}\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\frac{5}{4}}-\frac{5}{4}\int\bigg|\text{x}+\sqrt{\text{x}^2-\frac{5}{4}}\bigg|+\text{C}$
