Let (x + 2) = t
∴ dx = dt
\(\Rightarrow \int x \sqrt{x+2}dx = \int (t-2) \sqrt{t}dt\)
= \(\int \bigg(t^{\frac{3}{2}}-2t^{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg)dt\)
= \(\int t^{\frac{3}{2}}dt-2\int t^{\frac{1}{2}}dt\)
=\(\frac{t^\frac{5}{2}}{\frac{5}{2}}-2\bigg(\frac{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}\bigg)+C\)
=\(\frac{2}{5}t^{\frac{5}{2}}-\frac{4}{3}t^{\frac{3}{2}}+C\)
= \(\frac{2}{5}(x+2)^{\frac{5}{2}}-\frac{4}{3}(x+2)^{\frac{3}{2}}+C\)
What is the Planning Process?
Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:
If f(x) and g(x) are two functions and their product is to be integrated, then the formula to integrate f(x).g(x) using by parts method is:
∫f(x).g(x) dx = f(x) ∫g(x) dx − ∫(f′(x) [ ∫g(x) dx)]dx + C
Here f(x) is the first function and g(x) is the second function.
The formula to integrate rational functions of the form f(x)/g(x) is:
∫[f(x)/g(x)]dx = ∫[p(x)/q(x)]dx + ∫[r(x)/s(x)]dx
where
f(x)/g(x) = p(x)/q(x) + r(x)/s(x) and
g(x) = q(x).s(x)
Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:
∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du
This method of integration is used when the integration is of the form ∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx. In this case, the integral is given by,
∫g'(f(x)) f'(x) dx = g(f(x)) + C
