Question
Integrate the function: $\frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}}$

Answer

Here, $\int \frac{x-1}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}} d x=\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}} d x-\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}} d x$
For $\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}-1}} d x$ , Let x2 - 1 = t
$\Rightarrow$ 2x dx = dt
$\Rightarrow \int \frac{\mathrm{x}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-1}} \mathrm{dx}=\frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\mathrm{dt}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{t}}}$ 
$= \frac{1}{2} \int t^{-\frac{1}{2}} d t$ 
$= \frac{1}{2}\left[2 t^{\frac{1}{2}}\right]=\sqrt{t}=\sqrt{x^{2}-1}$ 
$\Rightarrow \int \frac{\mathrm{x}-1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-1}} \mathrm{dx}=\int \frac{\mathrm{x}}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-1}} \mathrm{dx}-\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{\mathrm{x}^{2}-1}} \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}$ 
$= \sqrt{x^{2}-1}- \log |x+\sqrt{x^{2}-1}|+C~~~$
