    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{x[{{(\log x)}^{2}}+4\log x-1]}}=\]

    A)                 \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{5}}\log \left[ \frac{\log x+2-\sqrt{5}}{\log x+2+\sqrt{5}} \right]+c\]

    B)                 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\log \left[ \frac{\log x+2-\sqrt{5}}{\log x+2+\sqrt{5}} \right]+c\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{5}}\log \left[ \frac{\log x+2+\sqrt{5}}{\log x+2-\sqrt{5}} \right]+c\]

    D)                 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{5}}\log \left[ \frac{\log x+2+\sqrt{5}}{\log x+2-\sqrt{5}} \right]+c\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       Put \[\log x=t\Rightarrow \frac{1}{x}\,dx=dt,\] then                    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dx}{x[{{(\log x)}^{2}}+4\log x-1]}}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dt}{{{t}^{2}}+4t-1}}\]                                 \[=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\frac{dt}{{{(t+2)}^{2}}-{{(\sqrt{5})}^{2}}}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{5}}\log \left[ \frac{t+2-\sqrt{5}}{t+2+\sqrt{5}} \right]}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{5}}\log \left[ \frac{\log x+2-\sqrt{5}}{\log x+2+\sqrt{5}} \right]+c\].
