Math Problem Statement
Solve the integral \( \int \frac{\sqrt{x} (2x^2 + 3)}{(x^3 + 2x^2 + 1)^{3/2}} \, dx \).
Solution
To solve this integral, we can use substitution. Let . Then the derivative is . We can express this as:
Given that the integrand is
we must express everything in terms of and .
Notice that
And now, let's relate to :
solving gives
Let's consider
This implies rewriting the terms under the integral and simplifying, then:
Using the substitution and simplifying, the integral becomes straightforward calculation, leading to:
Thus, the correct option matches with option D.
