Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
[tex]\int\frac{dx}{1+\sqrt[3]{x-2}}[/tex]
[tex]u=\sqrt[3]{x-2}[/tex]
[tex]u^3=x-2[/tex]
[tex]3udu=dx[/tex]
[tex]=3\int\frac{udu}{1+u}[/tex]
[tex]w=1+u[/tex]
[tex]w-1=u[/tex]
[tex]dw=du[/tex]
[tex]=3\int\frac{w-1dw}{w}[/tex]
[tex]=3\int\frac{wdw}{w}-3\int\frac{dw}{w}[/tex]
[tex]=3\int dw-3\int\frac{dw}{w}[/tex]
[tex]=3w-3ln|w|+C[/tex]
[tex]=3(1+u)-3ln|1+u|+C[/tex]
[tex]=3(1+\sqrt[3]{x-2})-3ln|1+\sqrt[3]{x-2}|+C[/tex]
[tex]=3+3(x-2)^\frac{1}{3}-3ln|1+(x-2)^\frac{1}{3}|+C[/tex]
