indefinite integral problem? (see attached) I have work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try taking the whole denominator as u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ghass1978 I'm not getting anywhere

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[u=1+\sqrt{2x}\implies du=\frac{dx}{\sqrt{2x}}=\frac{dx}{u-1}\implies dx=(u-1)du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let's see if I can take it from there

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I should mention that you should never try to syb \[u=\sqrt x\]without the 2 under the radical like you did if there is a 2 in the radical it must be in the u-sub somewhere

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sub*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is this right?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes, but don't forget the parentheses (or better yet absolute value bars) on the ln part and... +C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol + C ... thanks

OpenStudy (turingtest):

and you can drop the 1 because\[1+C_1=C_2\]
