I think answer is: 1/3 (1+x^2)^(3/2) - sqrt(1+x^2) + C

Mr
yup i got that too. the question is an example from Cambridge 4unit. However cambridge's answer was different.^{\frac{1}{2}}\ \ -\ x(1+x^{2})^{-\frac{1}{2}}\ dx\\ \\ =\ \ \frac{1}{2}\int (1+x^{2})^{\frac{1}{2}}\ -\ (1+x^{2})^{-\frac{1}{2}}\ d(1+x^{2})\\ \\ =\ \ \frac{1}{3}(1+x^{2})^{\frac{3}{2}}\ -\ \sqrt{1+x^{2}}\ +\ C)
hahaha
