Step-by-Step Verified Solution

∫2xdttt2−1=π2\int_{\sqrt 2 }^x {{{dt} \over {t\sqrt {{t^2} - 1} }}} = {\pi \over 2}

∴\therefore [sec⁡−1t]2x=π2\left[ {{{\sec }^{ - 1}}t} \right]_{\sqrt 2 }^x = {\pi \over 2}

[\left[ {} \right. As ∫dxxx2−1=sec⁡−1x\int {{{dx} \over {x\sqrt {{x^2} - 1} }}} = {\sec ^{ - 1}}x ]\left. {} \right]

⇒sec⁡−1x−sec⁡−12=π2\Rightarrow {\sec ^{ - 1}}x - {\sec ^{ - 1}}\sqrt 2 = {\pi \over 2}

⇒sec⁡−1x−π4=π2\Rightarrow {\sec ^{ - 1}}x - {\pi \over 4} = {\pi \over 2}

⇒sec⁡−1x=π2+π4\Rightarrow {\sec ^{ - 1}}x = {\pi \over 2} + {\pi \over 4}

⇒sec⁡−1x=3π4\Rightarrow {\sec ^{ - 1}}x = {{3\pi } \over 4}

⇒x=sec⁡3π4\Rightarrow x = \sec {{3\pi } \over 4}

⇒x=−2\Rightarrow x = - \sqrt 2
