Note: to enter $\theta$, type the word theta. $\int \text{________} d\theta$ (C) What is the value of the above integral in terms of $\theta$? $\text{________} + C$ (D) What is the value of the original integral in terms of $x$? Note: WAMAP does not recognize the inverse secant (arcsec) function. You will need to use another inverse trig function when you fill in your answer below. $\frac{9}{14} \tan^{-1}(\frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 49}}{7}) - \frac{\sqrt{9x^2 - 49}}{2x^2} + C$

Step 1
We see that the integrand contains a term of the form √(a^2x^2 - b^2), which suggests using the substitution x = (b/a)sec(θ). Show more…

Evaluate the following integral using trigonometric substitution. ∫ dx / √(x^2 + 49) What substitution will be the most helpful for evaluating this integral? A. x = 7sinθ B. x = 7tanθ C. x = 7secθ Rewrite the given integral using this substitution: dx = 7cosθ dθ / √(49sin^2θ + 49) dx = 7cosθ dθ / √(49(sin^2θ + 1)) Evaluate the integral: ∫ dx / √(x^2 + 49) = ∫ 7cosθ dθ / √(49(sin^2θ + 1))
