Find the intgral of f(x) = 1/(1+ sqrtx)

f(x) = 1/(1+ sqrtx)


Let us
use the substitution method to solve:


let x=
u^2


==> dx = 2u du


Now
we will substitute:


intg f(x) = intg (1/(1+u)
2udu


              = intg (2u/(1+u) 
du


  Now simplify using polynomial
division:


=> intg f(x) = intg ( 2 - 2/(u+1) 
du


                       = intg 2 du - 2 intg (1/u+1)
du


                         = 2u - 2 ln(u+1) +
C


Now subsitute with u=
sqrtx


==> intg f(x) = 2sqrtx -
2ln(sqrtx + 1) + C
