Determine thru the Integral Test if the following converges or diverges.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ \sqrt{x}(\sqrt{x}+1) }\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if its a product in the denominator, yeah, but not sure thatll work for integration

OpenStudy (amistre64):

can you determine a suitable u sub perchance?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am lost.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lost at what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

On how to integrate this.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we let u = sqrt(x)+1, then du = 1/[2sqrt(x)] dx for a substitution

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int\frac{2}{u}du\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when x=0, u=1 ... so \[\int_{1}^{\infty }\frac{2}{u}du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok i see that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you arrive at 2/u du?
