-2 / | | _________ | x*\/ x*x - 1 dx | / -3
Integral(x*sqrt(x*x - 1), (x, -3, -2))
Let .
Then let and substitute :
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
The integral of is when :
So, the result is:
Now substitute back in:
Now simplify:
Add the constant of integration:
The answer is:
/ | 3/2 | _________ (x*x - 1) | x*\/ x*x - 1 dx = C + ------------ | 3 /
