Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral: ∫ (1 / √(x + 2x)) dx

Solution

The integral provided in the image is:

1x+2xdx\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2x}} \, dx

Let me simplify and solve it step-by-step:

Step 1: Simplify the expression

In the denominator: x+2x=3xx + 2x = 3x So the integral becomes: 13xdx\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{3x}} \, dx

Step 2: Rewrite the integral

Factor out the constants: 13xdx=131xdx\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{3} \sqrt{x}} \, dx = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \, dx

Step 3: Solve the integral

The integral of 1x\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} is 2x2\sqrt{x}: 131xdx=132x+C\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \, dx = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \cdot 2\sqrt{x} + C

Step 4: Simplify the result

2x3+C\frac{2\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{3}} + C

This is the final answer.

Do you have any questions, or would you like further clarification? Here are five follow-up questions you might find useful:

  1. What is the derivation for the integral of 1x\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}?
  2. How can we verify the solution by differentiating it?
  3. What happens if the integral contains a different constant inside the square root?
  4. Can this method be generalized for integrals of the form 1axdx\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{ax}} dx?
  5. How does the constant of integration CC affect the solution?

Tip: Always check for simplifications in the integral before solving to make the process easier.
