Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral ∫ (21e^(√3x) / (2√x)) dx

Solution

The integral presented in the image is:

21e3x2xdx\int \frac{21 e^{\sqrt{3x}}}{2 \sqrt{x}} \, dx

To evaluate this, let's proceed step by step:

Step 1: Simplifying the integral

We notice that the integral contains an exponential with 3x\sqrt{3x} in the exponent and a square root in the denominator. A useful substitution for this type of problem is:

Let: u=3xu = \sqrt{3x}

Then: u=3xdu=32xdxu = \sqrt{3} \cdot \sqrt{x} \quad \Rightarrow \quad du = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 \sqrt{x}} \, dx

We can also express dxdx in terms of dudu: dx=2x3dudx = \frac{2 \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{3}} \, du

Step 2: Substituting into the integral

Now, substitute these into the original integral: 21eu2x2x3du\int \frac{21 e^{u}}{2 \sqrt{x}} \cdot \frac{2 \sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{3}} \, du

Simplifying the expression: 213eudu\int \frac{21}{\sqrt{3}} e^u \, du

This simplifies to: 73eudu7 \sqrt{3} \int e^u \, du

Step 3: Integrating

The integral of eue^u is simply eue^u. Therefore, we get: 73eu+C7 \sqrt{3} e^u + C

Step 4: Substitute back u=3xu = \sqrt{3x}

Finally, substitute back u=3xu = \sqrt{3x} to get the final answer: 73e3x+C7 \sqrt{3} e^{\sqrt{3x}} + C

Thus, the correct answer is:

B 73e3x+C\boxed{B} \ 7 \sqrt{3} e^{\sqrt{3x}} + C
