Identify a substitution that simplifies the integral. Since the integral contains both \( \sqrt{x} \) and \( x \), let’s set \( u = \sqrt{x} \). This means \( u = x^{1/2} \).
Express \( x \) and \( dx \) in terms of \( u \). Since \( u = x^{1/2} \), then \( x = u^2 \). Differentiate both sides with respect to \( u \) to find \( dx \): \( dx = 2u \, du \).
Rewrite the integral in terms of \( u \). Substitute \( \sqrt{x} = u \), \( x = u^2 \), and \( dx = 2u \, du \) into the integral: \[ \int \frac{\sqrt{2} - x}{\sqrt{x}} \, dx = \int \frac{\sqrt{2} - u^2}{u} \cdot 2u \, du \].
Simplify the integrand by canceling and combining terms: \( \frac{\sqrt{2} - u^2}{u} \cdot 2u = 2(\sqrt{2} - u^2) \). So the integral becomes \( \int 2(\sqrt{2} - u^2) \, du \).
Now, split the integral into two simpler integrals: \[ 2 \int \sqrt{2} \, du - 2 \int u^2 \, du \]. These are standard integrals that can be found in the integral table and evaluated easily.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Substitution Method in Integration

The substitution method involves changing variables in an integral to simplify it into a more familiar form. By letting a new variable equal a function of the original variable, the integral can be rewritten and evaluated more easily, often matching standard integral forms.
