HELP NEEDED PLS.
\[\int\limits \frac{ t^5}{ \sqrt{t^2+7} } dt\]
what will be the first step ?
well this is what i did... \[u = t^2 , du = 2tdt\] \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits \frac{ u^2 }{ \sqrt{u+7} }\] and now i am stuck again.
ok, but than you rationalize the denominator not will be more usefully like a first step ?
rationalize the denominator? How so?
@TheSmartOne
eliminate the radical from denominator
So multiply the numerator and denominator by \[\sqrt{t^2+7}\] ?
yes exactly
hi TSO my friend
TSO how you think please this was one bad idea to rationalize the denominator ?
i think this was one simplified step - or not ?
in the next step rewrite the radical in exponential form
Okay...\[\frac{ t^5(t^2+7)^{1/2} }{ t^2+7 }\]
and then what? :/
TSO any idea please ? i ve learned this past 30 years

@agent0smith
Try \( \large u = t^2 + 7 \)
I tired that too, but then it got messy. I got...\[u = t^2+7 \rightarrow t = \sqrt{u-7} \rightarrow du=2tdt\] \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits \frac{ \sqrt{u-7}^4 }{ \sqrt{u} }\]
Simplify and expand...
You can also do a trig sub.
It's not hard from here\[\large \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits\limits \frac{(u-7)^2 }{ \sqrt{u} } du= \]
put \[\sqrt{t^2+7}=x\] \[t^2=x^2-7,2t~dt=2x~dx,tdt=xdx\] \[I=\int\limits \frac{ t^5~dt }{ \sqrt{t^2+7} }=\int\limits \frac{ \left( t^2 \right)^2 tdt }{ \sqrt{t^2+7} }=\int\limits \frac{ \left( x^2-7 \right)^2 }{ x } x~dx\] can you complete further?
\[= \int\limits \left( x^4-14x^2+49 \right)dx\]
I am trying it @agent0smith 's way. But would you then factor out the numerator, and then turn the denominator into a negative exponent, then distribute the denominator?
Simplify what i gave as far as possible
okay, so i got\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits u^{5/2}-14u^{3/2}+49u^{1/2}\]
Are you sure? \[\large \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits\limits\limits \frac{(u-7)^2 }{ \sqrt{u} } du= \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits\limits\limits \frac{u^2-14u +49 }{ \sqrt{u} } du=\] \[\large \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } \int\limits\limits \frac{u^2 }{ \sqrt{u} }- \frac{ 14 u }{ \sqrt u } +\frac{ 49 }{\sqrt u } du=\]
Oh oops. forgot to make the exponent negative.
Kay, so i got... \[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }\left[ \frac{ 2 }{ 5 } u^{5/2}+\frac{ 28 }{ 3 }u^{3/2}+98u^{1/2}\right]\]
after integrating
I got the answer! Thank you very much!
