Find: ![]()
Let I = ![]()
⇒ I = ![]()
Let I1 =
…(1)
and I2 =
…(2)
Thus I = I1 + 3I2 …(3)
I1 can be solved using the substitution method whereas for I2 we will be trying to use the standard formula
![]()
Let’s proceed with I2 first –
As I2 = ![]()
To get the form present in the formula we need to complete the square. For this, we will be adding 4 and subtracting the same inside the square root.
∴ I2 = ![]()
⇒ I2 = ![]()
Using the formula: ![]()
I2 =
…(4)
As I1 = ![]()
To apply substitution method we need -2x-4 outside square root.
So we proceed as follows:
I1 = ![]()
⇒ I1 = ![]()
Let, 3 – 4x – x2 = u
∴ du = (-2x – 4) dx
∴ I1 =
{using equation 2}
⇒ I1 = 
⇒ I1 =
…(5)
From equation 3,4 and 5:
I = ![]()
⇒ I = ![]()
Hence,
I = ![]()
