# Math Help - Having trouble with a Calculs Integration

1. ## Having trouble with a Calculs Integration

The integration is [dx / (x Sqrt[1 - x])

Seems pretty simple but the question specify to not use the Tanh integration formula...

Now i'm stuck if my calculation are correct. Using the Pythagore i get to a point where i integrate Sec (theta)

and stuck... got Ln ¦ sec (theta) + Tan (theta) ¦ + c... then nothing i can't find the right answer that fit with the real anwer that is

If anyone could tell me if i made a mistake or send me in the right direction would be great

Log[1 - Sqrt[1 - x]] - Log[1 + Sqrt[1 - x]]

If you observe that:

$x=(1+\sqrt{1-x})(1-\sqrt{1-x})$

and then make the substitution:

$u^2=1-x\,\therefore\,dx=-2u\,du$

you get:

$2\int\frac{du}{u^2-1}$

and now factor the denominator, and use partial fractions...

Wow fast answer and right answer just did the whole thing it work very well!!!

Sorry if the problem was to easy I tought I'd put more of a challenge!
