integral of 1/(a+bsqrt(x))

\int \frac{1}{a + b x} d x

\frac{2}{b ^{2}} (a + b x - a ln a + b x) + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{1}{a + b x} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{2 ( u - a )}{b ^{2} u} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{2}{b ^{2}} \cdot \int \frac{u - a}{u} d u

Expand

\frac{u - a}{u} : 1 - \frac{a}{u}

= \frac{2}{b ^{2}} \cdot \int 1 - \frac{a}{u} d u

Apply the Sum Rule:

\int f (x) \pm g (x) d x = \int f (x) d x \pm \int g (x) d x

= \frac{2}{b ^{2}} (\int 1 d u - \int \frac{a}{u} d u)

\int 1 d u = u

\int \frac{a}{u} d u = a ln ∣ u ∣

= \frac{2}{b ^{2}} (u - a ln ∣ u ∣)

Substitute back

u = a + b x

= \frac{2}{b ^{2}} (a + b x - a ln a + b x)

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2}{b ^{2}} (a + b x - a ln a + b x) + C
