Integrate ∫(1+4y^2)^(1/2) dy from 0 to 1

I have the following integral to solve :

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=in … rom+0+to+1

I was able to integrate and I got : (y/4)+((e^(2y)-e^(-2y))/16)

I don't what to do after that. I know I can replace ((e2y-e-2y)/2) with sinh(2y)... but after that I'm lost. Help please ? Thanks

I'm using the following substitution : y=sinhθ/2

Hi;

Is that e^(2y) in (y/4)+((e2y-e-2y)/16)?


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

hi Al-Allo

I got that too.

You can write

You know sinh(y) = 2 and you can work out cosh(y) using 1 + sinh^2 = cosh^2

Hope that helps,

Bob
