Really hard calc problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@AlexandervonHumboldt2 \[\int\limits_{0}^{2} x \sqrt{2x+1}\]

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

oh i dont know them

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

you can do this by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand how to do this until a ceratin point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u=2x+1 AND X=U-1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

After that i'm lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ u-1 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

if you do it by parts, take u=x, du=dx dv=sqrt(2x+1) v=(2x+1)^3/2 * 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the problem is \[\int\limits_{0}^{2} x \sqrt{2x+1}\] and I got U=2x+1 and x= \[\frac{ u-1 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sub u = 2x+1, du = 2dx\[\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \int\limits_{1}^{5}(u-1)\sqrt{u}du\] easy from there

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

my bad, v=(2x+1)^3/2 * 1/3 then uv=uv - int (vdu)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I will show on the \(\normalsize\color{black}{\rm indefinite}\) integral. \[\Large \int\limits_{ }^{ }x \sqrt{2x+1}~dx\]\[u=2x+1,~~~~~x=\frac{u+1}{2},~~~~\frac{1}{2}du=dx\]\[\frac{1}{4}\Large \int\limits_{ }^{ }u+1 \sqrt{u}~du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You don't need parts...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why does the bounds change?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean (u+1) like this, in parenthesis

OpenStudy (p0sitr0n):

its doable by parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because it's a definite integral you have to plug in the bounds in u = 2x+1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does the 1/4 come from?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\[\frac{1}{4}\Large \int\limits_{ }^{ }(u+1)\sqrt{u}\]\[\frac{1}{4}\Large \int\limits_{ }^{ }(u^{3/2}+u^{1/2})~du\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

and then the power rule... but don;t forget to multiply times 1/4 and the +C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get the 1/4 though

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I mean you need the sums... but you know it.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Ohh, because my substitutions were (u+1)/2 and 91/2) du=dx so I had to multiply times 1/2 twice

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

this way I took 1/4 out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry I dont understand @SolomonZelman

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Do you see why my substitutions were what the were?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no
