A
½
B
1
C
¼
D
¾
Answer
¾
Explanation
Solution
Put x – 1 = t2 so that dx = 2t dt, and
∫x3(x−1)1/2dx= ∫(t2+1)3t2tdt= 2∫(t2+1)3dt
Now we formula of ∫(y2+k2)ndy to write
∫(t2+1)3dt = 4(t2+1)2t + 43 ∫(t2+1)2dtand
∫(t2+1)2dt = 2(t2+1)t +21 ∫(t2+1)dt= 2(t2+1)t+21tan–1 t
Hence ∫x3(x−1)1/2dx= 2(t2+1)2t+4(t2+1)3t+43 tan–1 t + c
= 4(t2+1)21 (2t + 3t3 + 3t) + 43 tan–1 t + c
=4x2x−1(3x+2)+43tan–1 x−1 + c
