Let $u = 4r^2 + 1\;,\,du = 8rdr.\;\& \,\begin{array}{*{20}c} r &\vline & 0 & 2 \\\hline u &\vline & 1 & {17} \\ \end{array}$

Thus $\int_1^{17} {\left( {\frac{{u - 1}}{4}} \right)\sqrt u \left( {\frac{{du}}{8}} \right)}$.

Thank you, but again I have a question (now a more basic one)

I got this, but I can't solve (guess my algebra is not working today)

Seriously? Just put "17" and "1" in for u and subtract. You really can't do much with $17^{5/2}$ or $17^{3/2}$ but, of course, $1^{5/2}= 1^{3/2}= 1$.
