Integration help...

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{8} \frac{ dx }{ \sqrt{1+x} } =\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how you're suppose to write this or do you need to solve for x?

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

i think u=1+x , du/dx=1 , dx=du im not sure what to do after this. \[\int\limits_{0}^{8} \frac{ dx }{\sqrt{u} }\] ?

OpenStudy (ikram002p):

i think ur supos to use sin

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are correct change the value of limits when x=0,u=? when x=8,u=?

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

\[\int\limits\frac{ du }{ \sqrt{a^{2} - u^{2}} } = \sin^{-1} \frac{ u }{ a } +C\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{8}\frac{ dx }{ \sqrt{1+x} }=\int\limits_{0}^{8}\left( 1+x \right)^{\frac{- 1 }{ 2 }}dx\] solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits x^n~dx=\frac{ x ^{n+1} }{ n+1 }\]

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

would that be 2sqrt(1+x) for [0,8]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct ,now you use the values.

OpenStudy (darkigloo):

i got 4. thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

correct.yw.
