Homework Statement
I'm given the problem: [tex]\int[/tex][tex]\frac{\sqrt{y^{2}-25}}{y}[/tex] dy
Homework Equations
I set y = 5sec(u), and solve for the subsitution.
The Attempt at a Solution
At the culmination of my solution, I achieve: 5tan(u) - 5u + C
Here is my dilemma, u stands for arcsec([tex]\frac{y}{5}[/tex]) -- How do I deal with tan(arcsec(..)), or any "trig within trig" setup? I've gone all this time without actually ever figuring out how to solve for these.
