First, rewrite the integral to clearly see the expression inside the square root: \(\int \frac{dx}{(2x + 1) \sqrt{4x + 4x^{2}}}\).
Notice that the expression inside the square root can be factored: \(4x + 4x^{2} = 4x(1 + x)\). So the integral becomes \(\int \frac{dx}{(2x + 1) \sqrt{4x(1 + x)}}\).
Simplify the square root: \(\sqrt{4x(1 + x)} = 2 \sqrt{x(1 + x)}\). Substitute this back into the integral to get \(\int \frac{dx}{(2x + 1) \cdot 2 \sqrt{x(1 + x)}} = \int \frac{dx}{2(2x + 1) \sqrt{x(1 + x)}}\).
To simplify the integral, consider a substitution that will simplify the square root term. For example, let \(t = \sqrt{\frac{x}{1 + x}}\) or try a substitution for \(x\) in terms of a new variable to simplify \(\sqrt{x(1 + x)}\). Alternatively, try the substitution \(u = \sqrt{x(1 + x)}\) and express \(dx\) and \(x\) in terms of \(u\).
After choosing an appropriate substitution, rewrite the integral entirely in terms of the new variable, simplify the resulting expression, and then integrate using standard integral techniques such as partial fractions or trigonometric substitution if necessary.

Concetti chiave

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

Integration by Substitution

Integration by substitution involves changing variables to simplify an integral. By letting a new variable represent a part of the integrand, the integral can often be transformed into a more manageable form. This method is especially useful when the integrand contains composite functions.

Trigonometric Substitution

Trigonometric substitution replaces algebraic expressions involving square roots with trigonometric functions, leveraging identities to simplify the integral. This technique is useful when the integrand contains expressions like √(a² ± x²), enabling easier integration through known trigonometric integrals.
