Calculus Help!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hi, may I help you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{} x \sqrt{x^2+1} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah classic integration

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, here we can use the u^n du

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set u to be (x^2+1) du = 2x dx dx = du / 2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you get\[\int\limits(x \sqrt{u}) * dx/2x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now notice the x and the 2x cancel out it becomes now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[1/2\int\limits(\sqrt{u})du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh i see now i tried to seperate it into two integrals and just got all turned around deffinetly much clearer! if i got stuck ill b posting some more so keep your eyes peeled

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now integrate this normally using integration rules - add 1 to the power, bring the new power to the front. \[1/2\int\limits(\sqrt{u})du = (1/2)*(3/2)*(u^{3/2}) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, thanks! just try to always turn it into u^n du form, makes life much easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will do!
