what an idiot I am, I went straight to trig sub and went through loads of sec(x), tan(x), drawing a triangle and everything, just to reach the same answer 😂. note to self, ALWAYS check for u sub first.

thank you for the video :)

I am confused how we got 2sqrt(x-1)... shouldn't it be -2sqrt(x-1)?

Amazing, I just have one question, why do you chose limit above 1 not below 1?
