Using different substitutions Show that the integral
$$
\int\left(\left(x^{2}-1\right)(x+1)\right)^{-2 / 3} d x
$$
can be evaluated with any of the following substitutions.
a. $u=1 /(x+1)$
b. $u=((x-1) /(x+1))^{k}$ for $k=1,1 / 2,1 / 3,-1 / 3,-2 / 3$
c. $u=\tan ^{-1} x$
d. $u=\tan ^{-1} \sqrt{x}$
e. $u=\tan ^{-1}((x-1) / 2)$
f. $u=\cos ^{-1} x$
g. $u=\cosh ^{-1} x$
