01x3x1dx\int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{3}}{\sqrt{x - 1}}\, dx
Integral(x^3/sqrt(x - 1), (x, 0, 1))
Detail solution
  1. Let u=x1u = \sqrt{x - 1}.

    Then let du=dx2x1du = \frac{dx}{2 \sqrt{x - 1}} and substitute 2du2 du:

    2(u2+1)3du\int 2 \left(u^{2} + 1\right)^{3}\, du

    1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

      (u2+1)3du=2(u2+1)3du\int \left(u^{2} + 1\right)^{3}\, du = 2 \int \left(u^{2} + 1\right)^{3}\, du

      1. Rewrite the integrand:

        (u2+1)3=u6+3u4+3u2+1\left(u^{2} + 1\right)^{3} = u^{6} + 3 u^{4} + 3 u^{2} + 1

      2. Integrate term-by-term:

        1. The integral of unu^{n} is un+1n+1\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n1n \neq -1:

          u6du=u77\int u^{6}\, du = \frac{u^{7}}{7}

        1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

          3u4du=3u4du\int 3 u^{4}\, du = 3 \int u^{4}\, du

          1. The integral of unu^{n} is un+1n+1\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n1n \neq -1:

            u4du=u55\int u^{4}\, du = \frac{u^{5}}{5}

          So, the result is: 3u55\frac{3 u^{5}}{5}

        1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:

          3u2du=3u2du\int 3 u^{2}\, du = 3 \int u^{2}\, du

          1. The integral of unu^{n} is un+1n+1\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1} when n1n \neq -1:

            u2du=u33\int u^{2}\, du = \frac{u^{3}}{3}

          So, the result is: u3u^{3}

        1. The integral of a constant is the constant times the variable of integration:

          1du=u\int 1\, du = u

        The result is: u77+3u55+u3+u\frac{u^{7}}{7} + \frac{3 u^{5}}{5} + u^{3} + u

      So, the result is: 2u77+6u55+2u3+2u\frac{2 u^{7}}{7} + \frac{6 u^{5}}{5} + 2 u^{3} + 2 u

    Now substitute uu back in:

    2(x1)727+6(x1)525+2(x1)32+2x1\frac{2 \left(x - 1\right)^{\frac{7}{2}}}{7} + \frac{6 \left(x - 1\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}}{5} + 2 \left(x - 1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}} + 2 \sqrt{x - 1}

  2. Now simplify:

    2x1(5x3+6x2+8x+16)35\frac{2 \sqrt{x - 1} \left(5 x^{3} + 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 16\right)}{35}

  3. Add the constant of integration:

    2x1(5x3+6x2+8x+16)35+constant\frac{2 \sqrt{x - 1} \left(5 x^{3} + 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 16\right)}{35}+ \mathrm{constant}


The answer is:

2x1(5x3+6x2+8x+16)35+constant\frac{2 \sqrt{x - 1} \left(5 x^{3} + 6 x^{2} + 8 x + 16\right)}{35}+ \mathrm{constant}
