Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #150

Evaluate \(\int \frac{e^{x}}{\sqrt{e^{2 x} - 4 e^{x} - 5}}\,dx\). Work for x>ln5.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(\log{\left(\sqrt{e^{2 x} - 4 e^{x} - 5} + e^{x} - 2 \right)}\) + C
  1. Let u=e^x, du=e^x dx.
  2. Complete the radicand u²−4u−5=(u−2)²−9. Its real positive-radicand domain is u>5, hence x>ln5.
  3. The standard primitive is ln|u−2+√[(u−2)²−9]|. Substitute u=e^x; its argument is positive here.
  4. Therefore the required integral is \(\log{\left(\sqrt{e^{2 x} - 4 e^{x} - 5} + e^{x} - 2 \right)}\) + C.

  • [0.5 marks] Let u=e^x, du=e^x dx.
  • [1 mark] Complete the radicand u²−4u−5=(u−2)²−9. Its real positive-radicand domain is u>5, hence x>ln5.
  • [1 mark] The standard primitive is ln|u−2+√[(u−2)²−9]|. Substitute u=e^x; its argument is positive here.
  • [0.5 marks] Therefore the required integral is \(\log{\left(\sqrt{e^{2 x} - 4 e^{x} - 5} + e^{x} - 2 \right)}\) + C.
