Homework Statement



Integral of sqrt(x-1)/sqrt(x)


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I think I have to sub x = sinh2 so you get sqrt(1-sinh2)/sqrt(sinh2)
I forget what to do after this

I'm not totally sure that [tex]x = \sinh^2(u)[/tex] will help you in this case since then [tex]x-1 = cosh^2(x)-2[/tex]. Trying [tex]x= cosh^2(u)[/tex] should lead to better results.
