Find the integration

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

\[(3x+4)\sqrt{3x-4} \] dx

OpenStudy (turingtest):

my first instinct is to integrate by parts with\[u=3x+4\\dv=\sqrt{3x-4}dx\]do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

I believe , I wasn't taught how to integrate in parts.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

then I will try to find another way

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

but just to get idea, how do you integrate in parts ?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\int udv=uv-\int vdu\\\int(3x+4)\sqrt{3x-4}dx=(3x+4)\frac13(3x-4)^{3/2}\cdot\frac23-\int(3x-4)^{3/2}dx\]

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Doesn't seem easy. By the way , the book , I found the problem in, has it "half-solved" only the final part. Will seeing the answer help you ?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

maybe

OpenStudy (rational):

u substitution might work

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yeah but what sub? I am drawing a blank

OpenStudy (rational):

\(u = \sqrt{3x-4} \implies du = \dfrac{3}{2\sqrt{3x-4}}dx = \dfrac{3}{2u}dx \implies dx = \dfrac{2udu}{3}\)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

thank you @rational I am rusty :P

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

3x(3x -4)^1/2 + 4(3x -4)^1/2 = [3x +4 -4](3x-4)^1/2 + 4(3x-4)^1/2 = (3x -4)(3x-4)^1/2 + 4(3x-4)^1/2 + 4(3x-4)^1/2 = (3x -4) + 8(3x -4 )^1/2 then by integrating with respect to x

OpenStudy (turingtest):

that looks reasonable as well

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

I don't understand a word.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what do you mean?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

last line should be (3x -4)^3/2 + 8(3x -4 )^1/2

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

The integration was (3x+4)(3x-4)^1/2 , well how did the book writer turned it into that

OpenStudy (turingtest):

distribute (3x+4)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

let u=(3x-4)^1/2 (3x+4)u=3xu+4u=3x(3x-4)^1/2+4(3x-4)^1/2

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Now , I see.

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

Thanks so much guys.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

welcome!

OpenStudy (trojanpoem):

I got last question.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

ok i;ll find it
