Answer

$$\sqrt {t - 1} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {t - 1} + C$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int {\frac{{\sqrt {t - 1} }}{{2t}}} dt \cr & {\text{substitute }}u = \sqrt {t - 1} ,{\text{ }}t = {u^2} + 1,{\text{ }}dt = 2udu \cr & \int {\frac{{\sqrt {t - 1} }}{{2t}}} dt = \int {\frac{u}{{2\left( {{u^2} + 1} \right)}}} \left( {2udu} \right) \cr & = \int {\frac{{{u^2}}}{{{u^2} + 1}}} du \cr & {\text{use long division}} \cr & = \int {\left( {1 - \frac{1}{{{u^2} + 1}}} \right)} du \cr & {\text{sum rule}} \cr & = \int {du} + \int {\frac{1}{{{u^2} + 1}}} du \cr & {\text{find the antiderivatives}} \cr & = u + {\tan ^{ - 1}}u + C \cr & {\text{ replacing }}u = \sqrt {t - 1} \cr & = \sqrt {t - 1} + {\tan ^{ - 1}}\sqrt {t - 1} + C \cr} $$
