Answer

$$\displaystyle\int{\frac{1}{x\sqrt{4x+1}}dx}=\displaystyle2\arctan \left( \sqrt{4x+1} \right) +C$$

Work Step by Step

$I=\displaystyle\int{\frac{1}{x\sqrt{4x+1}}dx}$ $\left[\begin{matrix} w=\sqrt{4x+1}& dx=\displaystyle\frac{\sqrt{4x+1}}{2}dw& x=\displaystyle\frac{w^2-1}{4} \end{matrix}\right]$ $I=\displaystyle\int{\frac{1}{x\sqrt{4x+1}}\times \frac{\sqrt{4x+1}dw}{2}}\\ I=\displaystyle\frac{1}{2}\int{\frac{1}{x}dw}\\ I=\displaystyle2\int{\frac{1}{w^2-1}dw}\\ I=\displaystyle2\arctan w+C\\ I=\displaystyle2\arctan \left( \sqrt{4x+1} \right) +C $
