Question

Integrate with only calc 1 techniques:
sqrt((x-1)/x^5)dx

Answer 1

\[\int\limits_{}^{} \sqrt{\frac{ x-1 }{ x^{5} }}dx\]

Answer 2

The only thing I could even think to try to do after all my lame sub attempts was to trig sub. But this is a problem out of a section where only u-sub has been introduced.

Answer 3

\(\large \int\limits_{}^{} \sqrt{\frac{ x-1 }{ x^{5} }}dx \)

\(\large \int\limits_{}^{} \frac{1}{x^2}\sqrt{\frac{ x-1 }{ x }}dx \)

Answer 4

sub u = 1/x

Answer 5

not (1- 1/x)?

Answer 6

thats even better :)

Answer 7

Alrighty, cool. Wouldve never seen it, lol. Thanks.
