Question:
Evaluate {eq}\int \sqrt{\frac{1 + x^2}{x}} dx {/eq} using trig substitution (i.e. {eq}x = \tan (\theta, dx = sec^2(\theta)) {/eq}
Let {eq}\displaystyle x = \tan (\theta) {/eq}
Then we have the following results:
- {eq}\displaystyle \sqrt(1+x^2)=\sqrt(1+tan^2\theta)=\sqrt(sec^2\theta)=sec\theta \\ {/eq}
- {eq}\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{tan\theta}=cot\theta \\ {/eq}
- {eq}\displaystyle \frac{\sqrt(1+x^2)}{x}=\frac{sec\theta}{tan\theta}=cosec\theta {/eq}
