Integrate the function: \(\frac{x}{\sqrt {x+4}}, \,x>0\)
Solution and Explanation
Let x+4 = t
∴ dx = dt
\(\int \frac{x}{\sqrt x+4} dx =\int \frac{(t-4)}{\sqrt t}dt\)
= \(\int \bigg(\sqrt t-\frac{4}{\sqrt t}\bigg)dt\)
= \(\frac{t^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}-4\bigg(\frac{t^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}\bigg)+C\)
=\(\frac{2}{3}(t)^{\frac{3}{2}}-8(t)^{\frac{1}{2}}+C\)
=\(\frac{2}{3}t.t^{\frac{1}{2}}-8t^{\frac{1}{2}}+C\)
=\(\frac{2}{3}t^{\frac{1}{2}}(t-12)+C\)
= \(\frac{2}{3}(x+4)^{\frac{1}{2}}(x+4-12)+C\)
= \(\frac{2}{3}\sqrt {x+4}(x-8)+C\)

Methods of Integration
Given below is the list of the different methods of integration that are useful in simplifying integration problems:
Integration by Parts:
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.
Method of Integration Using Partial Fractions:
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)
Integration by Substitution Method
Hence the formula for integration using the substitution method becomes:
∫g(f(x)) dx = ∫g(u)/h(u) du
Integration by Decomposition
Reverse Chain Rule
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
