integral of x^3(x^2+1)^{1/2}

\int x^{3} (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{1}{2}} d x

\frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} - 2) (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int x^{3} (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{1}{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

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

Expand

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

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \int u^{\frac{3}{2}} - u^{\frac{1}{2}} 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^{\frac{3}{2}} d u - \int u^{\frac{1}{2}} d u)

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

\int u^{\frac{1}{2}} d u = \frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}}

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

Substitute back

u = x^{2} + 1

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

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} (\frac{2}{5} (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{5}{2}} - \frac{2}{3} (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{3}{2}}) : \frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} - 2) (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{3}{2}}

= \frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} - 2) (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{3}{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{15} (3 x^{2} - 2) (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C
