In the previous post we covered common integrals (

- \int \frac{1}{x^2+1}dx=\arctan \left(x\right)+C
- \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x^2}}dx=\arcsin \left(x\right)+C
- \int \frac{1}{1-x^2}dx=\arctanh \left(x\right)+C
- \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^2}}dx=\arcsinh \left(x\right)+C
Let’s take a look at a few examples, notice that we are trying to manipulate the functions to a known form (can be tricky)
Here’s an example using algebraic manipulation and substitution (

Here’s another example using substitution to get to the common form (

Ready for integration by parts!
