Given integral  \int \sqrt{x^2 - 8x+7}dx

So, let us consider the function to be;

I = \int\sqrt{x^2-8x+7}dx =\int\sqrt{(x^2-8x+16)-(9)}dx

=\int\sqrt{(x-4)^2-(3)^2}dx

And we know that, \int \sqrt{x^2-a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-a^2}-\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}| +C

I = \frac{(x-4)}{2}\sqrt{x^2-8x+7}-\frac{9}{2}\log|(x-4)+\sqrt{x^2-8x+7}| +C

Therefore the correct answer is D.
