If $∫(\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x-1})^2dx=ax^2+βx(\sqrt{x^2-1}+γlog|x+\sqrt{x^2-1}|+C$, then value of $α+β+2γ$ is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
$\int (\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x-1})^2 dx$
$= \int \left[(x+1)+(x-1)+2\sqrt{x^2-1}\right] dx$
$= \int (2x + 2\sqrt{x^2-1}) dx$
$= \int 2x \, dx + 2\int \sqrt{x^2-1} \, dx$
$= x^2 + 2\int \sqrt{x^2-1} \, dx$
$\int \sqrt{x^2-1} \, dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-1} - \frac{1}{2}\ln|x+\sqrt{x^2-1}|$
$\Rightarrow 2\int \sqrt{x^2-1} dx = x\sqrt{x^2-1} - \ln|x+\sqrt{x^2-1}|$
$\alpha = 1,\ \beta = 1,\ \gamma = -1$
$\alpha + \beta + 2\gamma = 1 + 1 + 2(-1) = 0$
The value is $0$.
