Question:

$\int \frac{1}{(2 x-7) \sqrt{x^2-7 x+12}} d x$ is equal to

Options:

$2 \sec ^{-1}(2 x-7)+C$

$\sec ^{-1}(2 x-7)+C$

$\frac{1}{2} \sec ^{-1}(2 x-7)+C$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$\sec ^{-1}(2 x-7)+C$

Explanation:

Let

$I=\int \frac{1}{(2 x-7) \sqrt{x^2-7 x+12}} d x$

$\Rightarrow I=\int \frac{2}{(2 x-7) \sqrt{4 x^2-28 x+48}} d x$

$\Rightarrow I=\int \frac{1}{(2 x-7) \sqrt{(2 x-7)^2-12}} d(2 x-7)=\sec ^{-1}(2 x-7)+C$
