\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{x} + 1 }dx\]

I'ved tried substitution, but it gets more complex
hartnn (hartnn):
multiply and divide by root x-1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
rationalize the denominator

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ \sqrt{x} }{ \sqrt{x} + 1 } * \frac{ \sqrt{x} + 1 }{ \sqrt{x} + 1 } dx\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yup
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm,ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
teacher never showed us this technique
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then just do substitution afterwards?

it gets more complex
hartnn (hartnn):
oh, wait...that won't work....
hartnn (hartnn):
put u = root x +1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oo maybe that'll work
hartnn (hartnn):
then root x = u-1

dx= 2(u-1) du
hartnn (hartnn):
and then it becomes easy to solve ..... :)
hartnn (hartnn):
ask if any doubts or if u didn't get it...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok, ill post my answer in a sec
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int\limits_{}^{}2u + \int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ 2 }{ u }-\int\limits_{}^{}4 \]

hartnn (hartnn):
yes, going good....proceed.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is the antiderivative of 4, 4x or 4u
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4u cause im in terms of u right now
hartnn (hartnn):
yes, 4u
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[u^2+u-4u\]
\[(\sqrt{x}+1)^2+(\sqrt{x}+1)-4(\sqrt{x}+1)\]

hartnn (hartnn):
for 2/u , its 2log u
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh yea..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(\sqrt{x}+1)^2+2\ln(\sqrt{x}+1)-4(\sqrt{x}+1)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then expand
hartnn (hartnn):
correct.
