  • A
    $\dfrac{1}{10} \log \left|\dfrac{4-x}{4+x}\right|$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $\sin ^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x-4}{5}\right)$
  • C
    $\log \left|\dfrac{4-x}{4+x}\right|$
  • D
    $\dfrac{1}{5} \sin ^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x-4}{5}\right)$

Solution

The integral is given by $I = \int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{9+8x-x^2}} dx$.

Complete the square for the quadratic expression inside the square root:
$9 + 8x - x^2 = 9 - (x^2 - 8x) = 9 - (x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16) = 9 - ((x-4)^2 - 16) = 9 + 16 - (x-4)^2 = 25 - (x-4)^2$.

Substitute this into the integral:
$I = \int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{25 - (x-4)^2}} dx$.

Using the standard integral formula $\int \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{a^2 - u^2}} du = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{u}{a}\right) + C$, where $a = 5$ and $u = x-4$, we get:
$I = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x-4}{5}\right) + C$.

Thus, $\varphi(x) = \sin^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x-4}{5}\right)$.

Answer: $\sin ^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x-4}{5}\right)$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
