Evaluate the integrals in Exercises 39–54.
∫ 1 / (x√x + 9) dx

Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Rewrite the integral to clarify the expression inside the square root: the integral is $\int \frac{1}{x \sqrt{x + 9}} \, dx$.

Use a substitution to simplify the square root term. Let $u = x + 9$, so that $du = dx$ and $x = u - 9$.

Rewrite the integral in terms of $u$: replace $x$ with $u - 9$ and $dx$ with $du$, so the integral becomes $\int \frac{1}{(u - 9) \sqrt{u}} \, du$.

Express the integrand as $\frac{1}{(u - 9) u^{1/2}} = \frac{1}{u^{1/2} (u - 9)}$ and consider using partial fraction decomposition or another substitution to simplify this expression further.

Set up the partial fraction decomposition or an appropriate substitution to break down the integrand into simpler terms that can be integrated individually.
