Question reads: Use a substitution to compute: (see attached)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I tried partial fractions integration.
1. dx/x(1 + sqrt(x)
2. A/x + B/(1+sqrt(x) = 1/x(1+sqrt(x))
Solved for A, A= 1 B = -1
Resulted in:
1/x - 1/1+sqrt(x)
I integrated each part:
ln(abs(x)) - (ln(abs(1+sqrt(x)))*(1/2sqrt(x))
I am not sure if this was correct.
