Answer

$${\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{\sqrt {3x - 4} }}{2} + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{1}{{x\sqrt {3x - 4} }}} dx \cr & {\text{Use the Endpaper Integral Table to evaluate the integral}} \cr & {\text{Rewrite the integrand}} \cr & = \int {\frac{1}{{x\sqrt { - 4 + 3x} }}} dx \cr & {\text{The integrand has a expression in the form }}\sqrt {a + bu} {\text{}}{\text{}} \cr & {\text{Use formula 108}} \cr & \left( {108} \right):\,\,\,\,\int {\frac{{du}}{{u\sqrt {a + bu} }}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt a }}\ln \left| {\frac{{\sqrt {a + bu} - \sqrt a }}{{\sqrt {a + bu} + \sqrt a }}} \right| + C\,\,\,\left( {a > 0} \right) \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{2}{{\sqrt { - a} }}{\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{a + bu}}{{ - a}}} + C\,\,\,\left( {a < 0} \right) \cr & \int {\frac{1}{{x\sqrt { - 4 + 3x} }}} dx \cr & {\text{let }}u = x,\,\,\,a = - 4{\text{ and }}b = 3 \cr & a > 0,\,\, \cr & = \frac{2}{{\sqrt { - a} }}{\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{a + bu}}{{ - a}}} + C\,\,\,\left( {a < 0} \right) \cr & {\text{substituting }}a,{\text{ }}b{\text{ and }}x \cr & = \frac{2}{{\sqrt { - \left( { - 4} \right)} }}{\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{ - 4 + 3x}}{{ - \left( { - 4} \right)}}} + C\,\,\,\left( {a < 0} \right) \cr & {\text{simplifying}} \cr & = \frac{2}{{\sqrt 4 }}{\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{ - 4 + 3x}}{4}} + C \cr & = \frac{2}{2}{\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{3x - 4}}{4}} + C \cr & = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\frac{{\sqrt {3x - 4} }}{2} + C \cr} $$
