Anyone? The information is presented on the uploaded jpg.
 
Write
[tex]x^2+x = (x^2+x + 1/4)-1/4=\left(x+\frac 1 2\right)^2-\left(\frac 1 2\right)^2[/tex]

Letting w = x + 1/2 gets it into the form

[tex]\sqrt{w^2-a^2}[/tex]

Then try the substitution [itex]w = a\cosh(t)[/itex]

What is a in your case?

You mean in your case. a = 1/2.
