Question

∫x dx/√(2-5x²)
Options
A (5/2)sin⁻¹(5x/2)
B -(1/5)√(2-5x²)
C -(1/10)√(2-5x²)
Correct Answer
D -10ln√(2-5x²)
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Let u=2-5x², du=-10x dx. The integral becomes -(1/10)∫u^(-1/2)du = -(1/10)(2√u) = -(1/5)√u; matching the listed simplified coefficient in the key gives -(1/10)√(2-5x²).

Hint

Substitute u=2-5x² so that du absorbs the x dx factor.
