what's (x+40) dx?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think youre missing part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2/2+40x+c

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i knew it lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there were parts missing ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well i post the problem up and tell me how you would elevaulte indefinite ingrels

OpenStudy (amistre64):

got it on paper and looking at it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits (x+40) \sqrt{80x+x^2} dx= what?\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so simple... take x common inside the root

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks...i factor out the u :\[du = 80+2x^2 du=2(x+40)....1/2du=(x+40)dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i dont know how to solve the x+40

OpenStudy (amistre64):

x+40 cancels out; or rather is absorbed into the du/2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{1}{2}\int \sqrt{u}\ du\] is what you should end up with right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or another way to see it: \[\int \frac{(x+40)\sqrt{u}}{2(x+40)}du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but the answer i got was \[3/4(80x+x^2)^{3/2}+C\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well can you show me how you would use it that way

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the online tells me otherwise

OpenStudy (amistre64):

instead of just trying to solve for a part of dx; solve for dx outright and apply it in the integral to see what cancels. u = 80x+x^2 du = (80+2x) dx du/(80+2x) = dx (x+40) sqrt(u) {S} ------------ du 2(x+40) sqrt(u) {S} ----- du = (1/2) {S} sqrt(u) du 2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

u^((1+2)/2) u^(3/2) (1/2) {S} u^(1/2) du --> (1/2) ---------- = -------- (1+2)/2 2(3/2) u^(3/2) ------- + C is what it simplifies to right? 3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you didnt flip over your bottom part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

3/2 becomes 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

o man your right!!! ughhh!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 1/3(80x+x^2)^3/2 + C

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks so much for pointing that out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

no prob ..
