The integral is t(4+9t)^(1/2) dt

I have tried u-sub and integration by parts but i can't figure it out.

u=4+9t
du=9 Does not help because i still have that t to deal with.

I have spent more time then i want to admit trying to figure it out, and there are plenty more in the hw.

Can someone help me out so i can move on with the assignment?

Thanks guys/gals.

Solve for t in u = 4 + 9t
and substitute it back into the first t in the integral.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
