Can someone check my answer?

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

integral (((2+sqrt(x))^6))/(sqrt (x))) dx = ?

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

My answer is either (2/7) (2+x^(1/2))^7 + C or none of these (from other given options).

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

Does the +256/7 make it none of the above?

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

@dumbcow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you mean that: \[\int \frac{(2+\sqrt{x})^6 dx}{\sqrt{x}}\] ?

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok, do this: \[u=\sqrt{x} \Rightarrow du = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then we got: \[2\int (2+u)^6 du\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now, if you still can't see the result, do this: \(v = 2+u \Rightarrow dv = du\), so \[2\int v^6 dv = \frac{2}{7}v^7 + c =\frac{2}{7}(2+u)^7 +c= \frac{2}{7}(2+\sqrt{x})^7 +c \]

Got it?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

Hint: you always substitute unti you get a simple integral you can evaluate.

OpenStudy (nathanjhw):

Yes so I guess I was right, it was not none of these.
