Question
$\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-8 x-20}} d x$

Answer

$\text { Let } I =\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-8 x-20}} d x$
$=\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2-2.4 x+16-16-20}} d x$
$=\int \frac{ d x}{\sqrt{(x-4)^2-36}} d x$
$=\int \frac{ d x}{\sqrt{(x-4)^2-6^2}} d x$
$=\log \left|(x-4)+\sqrt{(x-4)^2-6^2}\right|+ c$
$\therefore I =\log \left|(x-4)+\sqrt{x^2-8 x-20}\right|+ c $

Find the population of city at any time $t$ given that rate of increase of population is proportional to the population at that instant and that in a period of 40 years the population increased from 30000 to 40000 .
Solution: Let $p$ be the population at time $t$.
Then the rate of increase of $p$ is $\frac{d p}{d t}$ which is proportional to $p$.
$\therefore \frac{ dp }{ dt } \propto p$
$\therefore \frac{ dp }{ dt }= kp$, where $k$ is a constant.
$\therefore \frac{ dp }{ p }= kdt$
On integrating, we get
$ \int \frac{ dp }{ p }= k \int dt$
$\therefore \log p = kt + c $
Initially, i.e. when $t=0$, let $p=30000$
$\therefore \log 30000= k \times 0+ c$
$\therefore c =\square$
$\therefore \log p=k t+\log 30000$
$\therefore \log p-\log 30000=k t$
$\therefore \log \left(\frac{ p }{30000}\right)= kt\ldots(i)$
when $t=40, p=40000$
$ \therefore \log \left(\frac{40000}{30000}\right)=40 k$
$\therefore k =\square $
$\therefore$ equation (1) becomes, $\log \left(\frac{p}{30000}\right)=\square$
$\therefore \log \left(\frac{ p }{30000}\right)=\frac{ t }{40} \log \left(\frac{4}{3}\right)$
$\therefore p=\square$
