Homework Statement


dy/dx = (y2-1)/(x2-1)

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



I tried to solve it by method of separation of variable and i reached
dy/(y2-1)=dx/(x2-1)
then by integrating both side i should have this answer which i got from the solution manual which is ln (y-1) - ln (y+1) = ln (x-1) - ln(x+1) .
i understand all the solution except the integration of any side of this equation dy/(y2-1)=dx/(x2-1)

Use partial fractions: 1/(x2-1) = A/(x+1) + B/(x-1)

thank you very much i didn't think about that
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
