Math Problem Statement
Evaluate the integral: ∫ from 0 to 2 of 7x^3 √(x^2 + 4) dx
Solution
The integral given in the image is:
Let's solve this step by step.
Step 1: Substitution
Let’s use the substitution method to simplify the square root term. Set: Then, the differential of with respect to is:
We need to change the limits of integration as well:
- When , ,
- When , .
Now we can rewrite the integral. First, express in terms of : [ x^2 = u - 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^3 = x(u-4)^{3/2} \quad }
