How to Integrate (x^2 + 2x + 1)sqrt(4x^2 + 8x + 5)?

In summary, the formula for integration with square root is: ∫√f(x)dx = 2/3f(x)√f(x) + C, where C is the constant of integration. To solve an integral with a square root in the numerator, you can use the substitution method by letting u = √f(x). Integration by parts can also be used, but it may not always be the most efficient method. When integrating a square root in the denominator, the trigonometric substitution method can be used. It is possible to have a negative value under the square root when integrating, in which case the solution will involve imaginary numbers and the use of appropriate techniques, such as substitution, is necessary.

Hello.

It is possible, that there is an easier way of solving the integral. But it could also be determined:

[tex]\displaystyle \int \ (x^2+2x+1) \sqrt{4x^2+8x+5}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \int \ (x+1)(x+1) \sqrt{4(x+1)^2+1}[/tex]

[tex]u=x+1[/tex]

[tex]v'=(x+1) \sqrt{4(x+1)^2+1}[/tex][tex]\displaystyle \ (uv)'=u'v+uv'[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle \int \ (uv)'= \int \ u'v+ \int \ uv'[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]\displaystyle \int \ uv' = uv- \int \ u'v[/tex]

Try to follow.

Regards.

You have [tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 \sqrt{ 4 \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 + 1 } \, dx } \end{align*}[/tex], I would lean towards doing a substitution here...

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} x + 1 = \frac{1}{2}\tan{\left( \theta \right) } \implies dx = \frac{1}{2} \sec^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \, d\theta \end{align*}[/tex] and the integral becomes

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 \sqrt{4 \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 + 1 } \, dx} &= \int{ \left[ \frac{1}{2}\tan{ \left( \theta \right) } \right] ^2 \sqrt{ 4 \left[ \frac{1}{2} \tan{ \left( \theta \right) } \right] ^2 + 1 } \, \frac{1}{2} \sec^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \, d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{2} \int{ \frac{1}{4}\tan^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \sec^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \, \sqrt{ \tan^2{ \left( \theta \right) } + 1 } \, d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \tan^2{\left( \theta \right) } \sec^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \sec{\left( \theta \right) } \,d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \left[ \sec^2{\left( \theta \right) } - 1 \right] \sec^3{ \left( \theta \right) } \,d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \sec^5{ \left( \theta \right) } - \sec^3{ \left( \theta \right) } \, d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{8}\int{ \frac{1}{\cos^5{ \left( \theta \right) } } - \frac{1}{\cos^3{ \left( \theta \right) } } \, d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \frac{\cos{ \left( \theta \right) } }{\cos^6{ \left( \theta \right) } } - \frac{\cos{ \left( \theta \right) } }{\cos^4{ \left( \theta \right) } } \, d\theta } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \cos{ \left( \theta \right) } \left\{ \frac{1}{\left[ 1 - \sin^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \right] ^3 } - \frac{ 1}{\left[ 1 - \sin^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \right] ^2 } \right\} \, d\theta } \end{align*}[/tex]

Now let [tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} u = \sin{ \left( \theta \right) } \implies du = \cos{ \left( \theta \right) } \, d\theta \end{align*}[/tex] and the integral becomes

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} \frac{1}{8} \int{ \cos{ \left( \theta \right) } \left\{ \frac{1}{\left[ 1 - \sin^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \right] ^3} - \frac{1}{ \left[ 1 - \sin^2{ \left( \theta \right) } \right] ^2 } \right\} \,d\theta } &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \frac{1}{ \left( 1 - u^2 \right) ^3 } - \frac{1}{ \left( 1 - u^2 \right) ^2 } \, du } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \frac{1}{ \left( 1 - u \right) ^3 \left( 1 + u \right) ^3 } - \frac{1}{ \left( 1 - u \right) ^2 \left( 1 + u \right) ^2 } \, du } \end{align*}[/tex]

Which can be solved using partial fractions.Hmmm, that was a little too messy for my taste. Maybe a different original substitution would have been easier. Try [tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} x + 1 = \frac{1}{2}\sinh{ (t) } \implies dx = \frac{1}{2}\cosh{(t)}\,dt \end{align*}[/tex] and the integral becomes

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{ \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 \, \sqrt{4 \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 + 1 } \, dx } &= \int{ \left[ \frac{1}{2} \sinh{(t)} \right] ^2 \sqrt{ 4 \left[ \frac{1}{2}\sinh{(t)} \right] ^2 + 1 } \, \frac{1}{2}\cosh{(t)}\,dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \sinh^2{(t)}\cosh{(t)} \, \sqrt{ \sinh^2{(t)} + 1 } \, dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \sinh^2{(t)}\cosh^2{(t)} \, dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{8} \int{ \left[ \frac{1}{2} \sinh{(2t)} \right] ^2 \, dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{32} \int{ \sinh^2{(2t)} \, dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{32} \int{ \frac{1}{2} \left[ \cosh{(4t)} - 1 \right] \, dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{64} \int{ \cosh{(4t)} - 1 \, dt } \\ &= \frac{1}{64} \left[ \frac{1}{4}\sinh{(4t)} - t \right] + C \\ &= \frac{1}{256}\sinh{(4t)} - \frac{1}{64}t + C \\ &= \frac{1}{128}\sinh{(2t)}\cosh{(2t)} - \frac{1}{64}t + C \\ &= \frac{1}{64}\sinh{(t)}\cosh{(t)} \left[ 2 \sinh^2{(t)} + 1 \right] - \frac{1}{64}t + C \\ &= \frac{1}{64} \sinh{(t)} \left[ 2 \sinh^2{(t)} + 1 \right] \, \sqrt{ \sinh^2{(t)} + 1 } - \frac{1}{64}t + C \\ &= \frac{1}{32} \left( x + 1 \right) \left\{ 2 \left[ 2 \left( x + 1 \right) \right] ^2 + 1 \right\} \, \sqrt{ \left[ 2 \left( x + 1 \right) \right] ^2 + 1 } - \frac{1}{64}\,\textrm{arsinh}\, { \left[ 2 \left( x + 1 \right) \right] } + C \\ &= \frac{1}{32} \left( x + 1 \right) \left[ 8 \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 + 1 \right] \, \sqrt{ 4 \left( x + 1 \right) ^2 + 1 } - \frac{1}{64} \, \textrm{ arsinh } \, { \left[ 2 \left( x + 1 \right) \right] } + C \end{align*}[/tex]

Hello, Yuuki!

[tex]\int (x^2 + 2x + 1)\sqrt{4x^2 + 8x + 5}\,dx[/tex]
Under the radical, we have:
. . [tex]4(x^2+2x+1) + 1 \:=\:4(x+1)^2+1[/tex]

The integral becomes: .[tex]\int (x+1)^2\sqrt{4(x+1)^2+1}\,dx[/tex]

Let [tex]u \,=\,x+1\quad\Rightarrow\quad dx \,=\,du[/tex]

Then we have: .[tex]\int u^2\sqrt{4u^2+1}\,du[/tex]

Let [tex]u \,=\,\tfrac{1}{2}\tan\theta \quad \Rightarrow\quad du \,=\,\tfrac{1}{2}\sec^2\!\theta\,d\theta[/tex]

And we have: .[tex]\int\left(\tfrac{1}{2}\tan\theta\right)^2\left( \sec\theta\right)\left( \tfrac{1}{2}\sec^2\!\theta\,d\theta\right)[/tex]

. . [tex]=\;\tfrac{1}{8}\int\sec^3\!\theta\tan^2\!\theta\,d\theta \;=\;\tfrac{1}{8}\int\sec^3\!\theta(\sec^2\!\theta -1)\,d\theta [/tex]

. . [tex]=\;\tfrac{1}{8}\int(\sec^5\!\theta - \sec^3\!\theta)\,d\theta[/tex]Apply the reduction formula:
. . [tex]\int \sec^n\!x\,dx \;=\;\frac{1}{2}\left[\sec^{n-2}\!x\tan x + \int\sec^{n-2}\!x\,dx\right][/tex]

and remember to back-substitute.
