whats the result of this integral?

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}t ^{2}(9t ^{2} + 1)\]

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

\[\int\limits\limits_{}^{}\sqrt{t ^{2}(9t ^{2} + 1)}\] I forgot that it had a root ... so do I have to do the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in this case, you want to take the t^2 out of the square root.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you get \[\int\limits x*\sqrt(9x^2+1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dx, of course

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yeah, now you can make make a regular sub, no need for trig actually.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now, use u-substitution. What would be a good value of u?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do we have a particular domain for \(t\) ? Recall that \(\sqrt{t^2}=|t|\), which is equivalent to \(t\) only if \(t\ge0\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suppose if we multiplied by |t|/t at the end, but that seems a bit inelegant. I don't see any great way to fix that inconsistency.

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

but how can I do the u substitution ? what formula do I have to apply?

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

@HarryPotter5777

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You'll want to use u=9t^2+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you have sqrt(u)*t. And t can be expressed in terms of du. What's the derivative of du?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*the derivative of u, sorry.

OpenStudy (appleduardo):

is:18t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right. Then you express in in terms of u: sqrt(u)du/18. Now integrate, and you're done! Just remember +C.
