    Evaluate\[\int{\frac{1}{(x+1)\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}-1}}dx}\]

    A) \[\sqrt{\frac{x+1}{x-1}}+c\]                        

    B) \[\sqrt{\frac{x-1}{x+1}}+c\]

    C) \[\sqrt{\frac{1}{x+1}}+c\]            

    D)         None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let\[I=\int{\frac{1}{(x+1)\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}-1}}dx}\] Put         \[x+1=\frac{1}{t}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[dx=-\frac{1}{{{t}^{2}}}dt\], then                 \[I=\int{\frac{1}{\frac{1}{t}{{\left( \frac{1}{t}-1 \right)}^{2}}}\left( \frac{-1}{{{t}^{2}}} \right)dt}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=-\int{\frac{dt}{\sqrt{1-dt}}=-\int{{{(1-2t)}^{-1/2}}dt}}\]                 \[=-\frac{{{(1-2t)}^{1/2}}}{(-2)\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)}+c\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\sqrt{1-2t}+c\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\sqrt{1-\frac{2}{x+1}}+c\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[I=\sqrt{\frac{x-1}{x+1}}+c\]
