1. ## Integrals

I just want to know if my final answer is correct since I don't have the solution for it.

$\int\frac{\sqrt{x} - 2x^2}{x} dx$

I obtained: $\frac{2x^\frac{3}{2}}{3}lnx - \frac{2x^3}{3} + C$

Also, I need some help figuring out this integral:

$\int x(x^2 + 1)^5 dx$ It is continuous from 0 to 1.

No, the first is not correct.

Divide everything by $x$ to turn the integral into

$\int{x^{-\frac{1}{2}} - 2x\,dx}$

$= 2x^{\frac{1}{2}} - x^2 + C$

$= 2\sqrt{x} - x^2 + C$.

For the second, you need to use a $u$ substitution.

Let $u = x^2 + 1$ so that $\frac{du}{dx} = 2x$.

$\int{x(x^2 + 1)^5\,dx} = \frac{1}{2}\int{2x(x^2 + 1)^5\,dx}$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int{u^5\,\frac{du}{dx}\,dx}$

$= \frac{1}{2}\int{u^5\,du}$

$= \frac{1}{12}u^6 + C$

$= \frac{1}{2}(x^2 + 1)^6 + C$.

Alternatively, you could expand everything, but the expansion of $(x^2 + 1)^5$ is difficult unless you know the Binomial Theorem.
