What is U(x)V(x) equal to?

Direction: Consider the following for the two (02) items that follow : Let 2\int\frac{x^{2}-1}{\sqrt{x^{2}+1}}\,dx=U(x)V(x)-3\ln\{U(x)+V(x)\}+c

  1. A. \sqrt{x^{2}+x^{4}}
  2. B. \sqrt{x+x^{3}}
  3. C. \frac{\sqrt{x^{2}+x^{4}}}{2}
  4. D. 2\sqrt{x^{2}+x^{4}}

Correct Answer: A. \sqrt{x^{2}+x^{4}}

Explanation

From the evaluation of the integral, we found U(x) = x and V(x) = \sqrt{x^2+1}. Multiplying them yields U(x)V(x) = x\sqrt{x^2+1} = \sqrt{x^2(x^2+1)} = \sqrt{x^4+x^2}.
