In summary, the conversation involves a person asking for help with solving the problem \int\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}. Another person provides a hint to use the substitution u^2=(1+x)/(1-x) and another person suggests multiplying top and bottom by √(1 - x). The conversation ends with the first person expressing gratitude for the help and the second person reminding to follow forum rules.

Do you mean

[tex]\int\sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}[/tex] ?

I don't think there is any way to express that in terms of elementary functions.

I don't think there is any way to express that in terms of elementary functions.

I think there actually is. Do the substitution u^2=(1+x)/(1-x). It just takes some patience.

Your hint is excellent. Working the problem in full is strictly against the rules. I'm going to report this and see if it can be removed. READ THE FORUM RULES.

Hi blu3jam! :smile:

Alternative hint: multiply top and bottom by √(1 - x). :smile:
