# Math Help - Integration

1. ## Integration

2. $
\int {\frac{{4x}}
{{\sqrt {2x - 1} }}} dx = 2\int {\frac{{2x + 1 - 1}}
{{\sqrt {2x - 1} }}} dx = 2\int {\sqrt {2x - 1} + 2\int {\frac{1}
{{\sqrt {2x - 1} }}} } dx
$

and now the result follows immediately:

$
= {\raise0.7ex\hbox{2} \!\mathord{\left/
{\vphantom {2 3}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}
\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{3}}\left( {2x - 1} \right)^{{\raise0.7ex\hbox{3} \!\mathord{\left/
{\vphantom {3 2}}\right.\kern-\nulldelimiterspace}
\!\lower0.7ex\hbox{2}}} + 2\sqrt {2x - 1} + C

$

$
= \sqrt {2x - 1} \left( {\frac{4}
{3}x - \frac{2}
{3} + 2} \right) + C = \frac{4}
{3}\sqrt {2x - 1} (x - 1) + C
$

3. I'd tackle this as follows:

Substitute $u^2=2x-1\implies u\,du=dx,$ the integral becomes

$2\int {\left( {u^2 + 1} \right)\,du} = 2\left( {\frac{1}
{3}u^3 + u} \right) + k = 2u\left( {\frac{1}
{3}u^2 + 1} \right) + k.$

Back substitute:

$\int {\frac{{4x}}
{{\sqrt {2x - 1} }}\,dx} = 2\sqrt {2x - 1} \left( {\frac{{2x - 1}}
{3} + 1} \right) = \frac{4}
{3}(x + 1)\sqrt {2x - 1} + k\quad\blacksquare$

Peritus, I'd re-check your last conclusion.

it's not even a conclusion it'ss pure bull@#@. thanks for pointing out my mistake. I've corrected my post.
