SUMMARY
The integral ∫ y / (√(a(y^2)-c)) dy can be solved by recognizing that the integrand can be expressed as the derivative of a function involving a square root. Specifically, rewriting the integrand in the form of √(a(y^2)-c) allows for the application of integration techniques involving substitution. This approach simplifies the integral and leads to a solvable form. The constants 'a' and 'c' play a crucial role in determining the specific method of integration.
