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

A man owns a field of area 1000 sq.m. He wants to plant fruit trees in it. He has a sum of Rs. 1400 to purchase young trees. He has the choice of two types of trees. Type A requires 10 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 20 per tree and type B requires 20 sq.m of ground per tree and costs Rs. 25 per tree. When fully grown, type A produces an average of 20kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 2.00 per kg and type B produces an average of 40kg of fruit which can be sold at a profit of Rs. 1.50 per kg. How many of each type should be planted to achieve maximum profit when the trees are fully grown? What is the maximum profit?
