Step-by-Step Verified Solution

We can write,

7 - 6x - x2 = 16 - (x + 3)2

and ddx(7−6x−x2)=−(2x+6){d \over {dx}}\left( {7 - 6x - {x^2}} \right) = - (2x + 6)

So, ∫2x+57−6x−x2dx\int {{{2x + 5} \over {\sqrt {7 - 6x - {x^2}} }}} dx

= ∫2x+6−17−6x−x2dx\int {{{2x + 6 - 1} \over {\sqrt {7 - 6x - {x^2}} }}} dx

= ∫2x+67−6x−x2dx\int {{{2x + 6} \over {\sqrt {7 - 6x - {x^2}} }}} dx -
                ∫116−(x+3)2dx\int {{1 \over {\sqrt {16 - {{(x + 3)}^2}} }}} dx

= ∫2x+67−6x−x2dx\int {{{2x + 6} \over {\sqrt {7 - 6x - {x^2}} }}} dx -
                ∫1(4)2−(x+3)2dx\int {{1 \over {\sqrt {{{\left( 4 \right)}^2} - {{(x + 3)}^2}} }}} dx

= −27−6x−x2- 2\sqrt {7 - 6x - {x^2}} - sin⁡−1(x+34){\sin ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{x + 3} \over 4}} \right) + C

By comparing with the given equation in the question we get,

A = - 2 and B = - 1
