Answer

$(\sqrt {y^2-49}-7 \sec^{-1} (y/7))+C$

Work Step by Step

Let us consider $y = \sec \theta $ and $dy=7\sec\theta \tan \theta d \theta $ Now, the given integral becomes: $\int \dfrac{\sqrt{(49\sec^2 \theta-49)}}{7 \sec \theta} = 7 \int (\sec^2 \theta-1) d \theta$ Now, integrate and plug in $\sec \theta =(y/7)$: $ 7( \tan \theta -\theta)+C=(\sqrt {y^2-49}-7 \sec^{-1} (y/7))+C$
