integral of xsqrt(1+x)

\int x 1 + x d x

\frac{2}{5} (1 + x)^{\frac{5}{2}} - \frac{2}{3} (1 + x)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int x 1 + x d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int (u - 1) u d u

Expand

(u - 1) u : u^{\frac{3}{2}} - u

= \int u^{\frac{3}{2}} - 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

= \int u^{\frac{3}{2}} d u - \int u d u

\int u^{\frac{3}{2}} d u = \frac{2}{5} u^{\frac{5}{2}}

\int u d u = \frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}}

= \frac{2}{5} u^{\frac{5}{2}} - \frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}}

Substitute back

u = 1 + x

= \frac{2}{5} (1 + x)^{\frac{5}{2}} - \frac{2}{3} (1 + x)^{\frac{3}{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{2}{5} (1 + x)^{\frac{5}{2}} - \frac{2}{3} (1 + x)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C
