Using the appropriate identity in Table 2.10.4, the alternate form of the solution, namely,
can be obtained from the Maple solution.
A stepwise solution that uses top-level commands except for one application of the Change command from the IntegrationTools package:

Let be the name of the given integral.
|
|
|
Change variables as per Table 6.3.1
|
•
|
Use the Change command to apply the change of variables .
|
|
|
•
|
Simplify the radical to . Note the restriction imposed on .

•
|
Use the value command to evaluate the integral.

|
Revert the change of variables by applying the substitution .

Maple resists changing the integral of to the integral of .
The stepwise solution provided by the
tutor when the Constant, Constant Multiple, and Sum rules are taken as Understood Rules begins with the substitution , and ends with
an antiderivative that differs from the earlier solution by , an additive constant of integration. Also, the argument of the logarithm has to be rationalized to make one expression look like the other.
On the other hand, Table 6.3.10(a) shows the result when the Change rule , the sec rule, and the Revert rule are applied in the tutor.
