1. Find the differential $dx$ in terms of $du$.
Given the substitution , differentiating with respect to gives:
2. Substitute $x$ and $dx$ into the integral and simplify the expression under the square root.
Expanding and simplifying the terms under the square root:
Using the Pythagorean identity :
3. Evaluate the trigonometric integral using the double-angle formula.
Using the double-angle identity :
\begin{aligned}
\int\cos^{2}u,du &= \int\frac{1}{2}(1+\cos 2u),du \
&= \frac{1}{2}u + \frac{1}{4}\sin 2u + C \
&= \frac{1}{2}u + \frac{1}{2}\sin u \cos u + C
\end{aligned}
4. Substitute $u$ back in terms of $x$ to obtain the final answer.
From , we have , which gives .
Also, using the identity :
Substitute these expressions back:
\begin{aligned}
\frac{1}{2}u + \frac{1}{2}\sin u \cos u + C &= \frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}(x-1) + \frac{1}{2}(x-1)\sqrt{2x-x^2} + C
\end{aligned}
