The answer is =12(x+7)x2+14x492ln(17(x2+14x+(x+7)))+C

Explanation:

We need

cosh2θsinh2θ=1

cosh2θ=2sinh2θ+1

sinh2θ=12(cosh2θ1)

sinh2θ=2sinhθcoshθ

arccoshx=ln(x21+x)

We perform this integral by substitution but first we do some simplification

x2+14x=x2+14x+4949=(x+7)249

The substitution is

x+7=7coshθ

dx=7sinhθdθ

(x+7)249=49cosh2θ49

=7cosh2θ1

=7sinhθ

sinh2θ=cosh2θ1=(x+77)21

=x2+14x+494949

=x2+14x49

sinhθ=17x2+14x

Therefore,

x2+14xdx=7sinhθ7sinhθdθ

=49sinh2θdθ

=492(cosh2θ1)dθ

=492(sinh2θ2θ)

=492(sinhθcoshθarccosh(x+77))

=(49217x2+14xx+77)492ln(x+7)2491+x+77+C

=12(x+7)x2+14x492ln(17(x2+14x+(x+7)))+C
