1. ## integrating

hello,
can anyone please help intergrate this, i dont know how to do square root integration...

$
\int{x^5\sqrt{x^6+7}dx}
$

use substitution:

$u = {x^6}+7 \rightarrow du = 6x^5 dx \rightarrow dx = \frac{du}{6x^5}$

put the above in your integration:

$\int {x^5\sqrt{x^6+7}dx}$

= $\int{x^5\sqrt{u}} \frac{du}{6x^5}$

= $\int \frac{\sqrt{u}}{6} du$

solve

3. $
u = {x^6}+7 \rightarrow du = 6x^5 dx \rightarrow dx = \frac{du}{6x^5}$
the part here where you solve for dx from du we havent been taught yet, but going along with the substitution you said i got to:

$
\frac{1}{6}\int{\sqrt{u}}
$

but what would the integration of that be??

$= \frac{1}{6}\int u^{\frac{1}{2}} du$

$= \frac{1}{6} \times [ \frac{2}{3} \times {u^{\frac{3}{2}}}] + C$

Now substitute the value of $u = {x^6}+7$ in the above equation
