That 4 is the degree of the root, it's not an exponent, correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct the nth root

zepdrix (zepdrix):

hmmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It got me stuck because of that reason

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh lol. It's a lot easier than it looks. I had to check wolfram cause I was stuck :3 Ok ok ok here's what we'll do...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can figure out, how to show it on wolframalpha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't*

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[\large \color{royalblue}{u=x+5} \qquad\rightarrow\qquad \color{orangered}{x=u-5}\]\[\large \color{green}{du=dx}\] \[\large \int\limits\limits \color{orangered}{x}(\color{royalblue}{x+5})^{1/4}\color{green}{dx} \qquad\rightarrow\qquad \int\limits\limits (\color{orangered}{u-5})(\color{royalblue}{u})^{1/4}\color{green}{du}\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

In wolfram, after you've entered the problem, there's a button near the answer, it says `Step-by-step solution`.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Wolfram decided to be lame about a year ago, So you only get access to like 5 step-by-step solutions per day if you're not a premium member.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not coming up.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

weird :U

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not able to get 4nthroot to show up correctly

zepdrix (zepdrix):

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integral+x%28x%2B5%29%5E%281%2F4%29dx Are you entering it correctly? Just do it as a fractional exponent.
