help me to evaluate the following integrals;

OpenStudy (saitama):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\frac{ (2+\sqrt{x})^2dx }{ \sqrt{x}}\]

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

You can try a u substitution for this one as well, \[u = 2+\sqrt{x}\]

OpenStudy (saitama):

how about dx?

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

Differentiate it respect to x, what do you get?

OpenStudy (saitama):

x^-1/2 ?

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

Careful, we need to apply power rule, \[\sqrt{x} \implies x^{1/2}\] \[\frac{ d }{ dx } x^n = nx^n\] right?

OpenStudy (saitama):

1/2

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

You are very close however, \[\frac{ du }{ dx } = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x^{-1/2} \implies \frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x} }\]

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

\[\int\limits \frac{ (2+\sqrt{x})^2 }{ \sqrt{x} }dx\] is your original integral, we make a u sub here of \[u=2+\sqrt{x}\] so our integral becomes \[\int\limits \frac{ u^2 }{ \sqrt{x} } dx\] but that looks a bit weird since we have two variables right? So we differentiate our u substitution to get \[u = 2 + \sqrt{x} \implies \frac{ du }{ dx } = \frac{ 1 }{ 2\sqrt{x} } \implies du = \frac{ dx }{ 2\sqrt{x} }\] can you finish it off?

OpenStudy (saitama):

(2+sqrt of x )^3 / 3+c

OpenStudy (quantummechanics):

Close, \[\int\limits u^2 \color{red}{\frac{ dx }{ \sqrt{x} }}\] replace with out substitution of \[2du = \color{red}{\frac{ dx }{ \sqrt{x} }}\] then we have \[\int\limits 2u^2 du\] you forgot about that 2 it seems, but everything else would be good, so our final answer would get us \[\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }(\sqrt{x}+2)^3+C\]
