The solution for $x$ of the equation $\int_{\sqrt{2}}^x \frac{d t}{t \sqrt{t^2-1}}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ is
The solution for $x$ of the equation
$\int_{\sqrt{2}}^x \frac{d t}{t \sqrt{t^2-1}}=\frac{\pi}{2}$ is
-
$2$
-
$\pi$
-
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$
-
None of these
Solution
$\int_{\sqrt{2}}^x \frac{d t}{t \sqrt{t^2-1}}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\left[\sec ^{-1} t\right]_{\sqrt{2}}^x=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\sec ^{-1} x-\frac{\pi}{4}=\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\sec ^{-1} x=\frac{3 \pi}{4}$
$x=-\sqrt{2}$.
