Homework Statement
\int x^{2}\sqrt{2+x}dx
Relevant Equations
The Substitution Rule,
Table of Indefinite Integrals
When I encountereD this kind of question before.For example
\int x\sqrt{2+x^{2}}dx
We make the Substitution t=x^{2}+2,because its differential is dt=2xdx,so we get \int x\sqrt{2+x^{2}}=1/2\int\sqrt{t}dt,then we can get the answer easily
But the question,it seems that I can't use the way to solve the question.I can't find a correct commutation method.

Try putting ##[tex]## at head and ##[/tex]## at tail of your math code to show it properly.

Sorry,but I can't understand you.Could you please tell how to show my math code properly?Now I just can use these math code.

We make the Substitution [itex]t=x^{2}+2[/itex],because its differential is [itex]dt=2xdx[/tex],so we get [tex]\int x\sqrt{2+x^{2}}\,dx =\frac12 \int\sqrt{t}\,dt,[/tex] then we can get the answer easily

Did you consider [itex]t = x + 2[/itex], [itex]dx = dt[/itex]?

Example for \frac{\pi}{2}
##\frac{\pi}{2}##
[tex]\frac{\pi}{2}[/tex]

Why don't you try these two ways for Latex in your post ?

I'm not quite sure what you actually want to know. The LaTeX issue is addressed above and in the link.

The integral works as follows and is explained here:

Ithe seems that we still can't solve it with this way...

You can't integrate [itex]\int (t - 2)^2\sqrt{t}\,dt = \int t^{5/2} - 4t^{3/2} + 4t^{1/2}\,dt[/itex]?

Yes,you are right.

1. What is the correct method to integrate \int (t - 2)^2\sqrt{t}\,dt?

The correct method to integrate this expression is through the use of the substitution method. This involves substituting a new variable for the expression inside the square root and then solving the integral using standard techniques.

2. Can I use the power rule to integrate \int (t - 2)^2\sqrt{t}\,dt?

No, the power rule cannot be used to integrate this expression as it is not in the form of x^n. The substitution method must be used instead.

3. Is there a shortcut to integrate \int (t - 2)^2\sqrt{t}\,dt?

Unfortunately, there is no shortcut or formula that can be used to integrate this expression. The substitution method is the most efficient and accurate way to solve this integral.

4. Can I use integration by parts to solve \int (t - 2)^2\sqrt{t}\,dt?

Yes, integration by parts can also be used to solve this integral. However, it may be more complicated and time-consuming compared to the substitution method.

5. Is there a specific substitution that should be used for \int (t - 2)^2\sqrt{t}\,dt?

There is no specific substitution that must be used for this integral. However, a common substitution is u = t - 2, which simplifies the expression to \int u^2\sqrt{u + 2}\,du.
