If a2 x2 or a2 + x2 occurs, try x = a tan ; then
3. dx = a sec2 d and
a + x = a sec (one can also use x = a sinh ; then a2 + x2 = a cosh )
2 2
a2 + x2 = a sec
a tan = x

Example 6 Evaluate: (a) 2
dx, (b) .
x 4x2 1
Solution (a) Let x = 3 sin , so 9 x2 = 3 cos . thus dx = 3 cos d
and

In the
last line, we used the first figure in the preceding box to get the identity
cot = a2 x2 /x with a = 3.
