Answer

$$\displaystyle{\int\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}dx=-\ln\left|\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}+\frac{1}{x}\right|+\sqrt{1+x^2}+C}\\$$

Work Step by Step

$\displaystyle{I=\int\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}dx}\\$ $\displaystyle \left[\begin{array}{ll} x=\tan\theta & x^2=\tan^2\theta \\ & \\ \frac{dx}{d\theta}=2\sec^2\theta & dx=2\sec^2\theta\ d\theta \end{array}\right]$ Integration by substitution $\displaystyle{I=\int\frac{\sqrt{1+\tan^2\theta}}{\tan\theta}\sec^2\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int\frac{\sec\theta}{\tan\theta}\sec^2\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int cosec\theta\sec^2\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int cosec\theta+\left(\tan^2\theta+1\right)\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=\int cosec\theta+\tan\theta\sec\theta\ d\theta}\\ \displaystyle{I=-\ln\left|cosec\theta+\cot\theta\right|+\sec\theta+C}\\$ $\sec\theta=\sqrt{1+x^2}\\ \cot\theta=\frac{1}{x}\\ cosec\theta=\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}\\$ $\displaystyle{I=-\ln\left|\frac{\sqrt{1+x^2}}{x}+\frac{1}{x}\right|+\sqrt{1+x^2}+C}\\ $
