Integral(1 + sqrt(2*x - 1), (x, 4, 12))
Integrate term-by-term:
Let .
Then let and substitute :
The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
The integral of is when :
So, the result is:
Now substitute back in:
The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:
The result is:
Now simplify:
Add the constant of integration:
The answer is:
