f(x)=[(((x+1)/(x−1)))^2 +(((x−1)/(x+1)))^2 −2]^(1/2)   =[{(((x+1)/(x−1)))−(((x−1)/(x+1)))}^2 ]^(1/2)   =(((x+1)^2 −(x−1)^2 )/((x^2 −1)))  =((4x)/(x^2 −1))  ∫_((−1)/2) ^(1/2)  ((4x)/(x^2 −1))dx←look here f(−x)=((−4x)/(x^2 −1))=−f(x)  so  ∫_((−1)/2) ^(1/2)  ((4x)/(x^2 −1))=0  if we clculate..  2∫_((−1)/2) ^(1/2)  ((d(x^2 −1))/(x^2 −1))     2×∣ln(x^2 −1)∣_((−1)/2) ^(1/2)   2[ln∣((1/4)−1)∣−ln∣((1/4)−1)∣]=0
