I am Aniket studing in 12 th standard At Mumbai I have following integration problem please give me a solution
integral of 1/under root of (5x2 - 2x) dx
Aniket,
I would complete the square of the expression 5x2 - 2x
5x2 - 2x = 5(x2 - 2/5 x) = 5(x2 - 2/5 x + 1/25) - 5/25 = 5[(x - 1/5)2 - 1/25]
The integrand is now in a form where you can try a secant substitution.
