The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

It is known that,\(\int \sqrt{a^2+x^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2+x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\log\mid x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}\mid+C\)

\(\int \sqrt{1+x^2}dx=\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2}+\frac{1}{2}\log\mid x+\sqrt{1+x^2}\mid+C\)

Hence, the correct answer is A.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions

There are many important integration formulas which are applied to integrate many other standard integrals. In this article, we will take a look at the integrals of these particular functions and see how they are used in several other standard integrals.

Integrals of Some Particular Functions:

  • ∫1/(x2 – a2) dx = (1/2a) log|(x – a)/(x + a)| + C
  • ∫1/(a2 – x2) dx = (1/2a) log|(a + x)/(a – x)| + C
  • ∫1/(x2 + a2) dx = (1/a) tan-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 – a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 – a2)| + C
  • ∫1/√(a2 – x2) dx = sin-1(x/a) + C
  • ∫1/√(x2 + a2) dx = log|x + √(x2 + a2)| + C

These are tabulated below along with the meaning of each part.
