Question:medium

\( \int \frac{\sqrt{x^2 - 1}}{x} \, dx \) is equal to:

Show Hint

Trigonometric substitution turns algebraic radicals into powers of trig functions. Remember the triangle: if $\sec\theta = x/1$, the opposite side is $\sqrt{x^2-1}$.

  • \( \sqrt{x^2 - 1} - \sec^{-1} x + C \)
  • \( \sqrt{x^2 - 1} + \tan^{-1} x + C \)
  • \( \sqrt{x^2 - 1} + \sec^{-1} x + C \)
  • \( \sqrt{x^2 - 1} - \tan x + C \)
  • \( \sqrt{x^2 - 1} + \sec x + C \)
