integral of y/(sqrt(2y+1))

\int \frac{y}{2 y + 1} d y

\frac{1}{3} (y - 1) 2 y + 1 + C

Solution steps

\int \frac{y}{2 y + 1} d y

Apply u-substitution

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

Take the constant out:

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

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

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

\int 1 d u = u

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

Substitute back

u = 2 y + 1

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

Simplify

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

= \frac{1}{3} (y - 1) 2 y + 1

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} (y - 1) 2 y + 1 + C
