Question

If dx1+x21x2=F(x) and  F(1)=0

then for x > 0, F (x) is equal to 

Moderate
Solution

Putting x=1t so that dx=1t2dt

We have

                    dx1+x21x2=tdt1+t2t21=dx2+u2t21=u2=12tan1u2+C=12tan1121x2x+C

Since F(1) = 0, so C = 0. Hence

F(x)=12π2cot1121x2x

                                                                 tan1θ+cot1θ=π/2

=π22+12tan12x1x2

cot1θ=tan11θ, for θ>0 and cot1θ=tan11θ+π, for θ<0
