SUMMARY

The integral \(\int \frac{dx}{x(1+2\sqrt{x}+\sqrt[3]{x})}\) can be simplified by rewriting the denominator as \(x(1+2x^{1/2}+x^{1/3})\). This transformation allows for further manipulation by substituting \(u=x^{1/6}\), which eliminates one root while introducing another. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing patterns in the denominator to facilitate integration.

[tex] \int \frac{dx}{x(1+2\sqrt{x}+\sqrt[3]{x})}=\int \frac{dx}{x(\sqrt{x}+1+\sqrt{x}+\sqrt[3]{x})}=<br /> \int \frac{dx}{x(\sqrt{x}+\frac{(1-x)}{1-\sqrt[3]{x}})}[/tex]
i got read of one root but instead i got another one

Notice that the denominator can be written as follows:

[tex]x\left(1+2x^{1/2}+x^{1/3}\right)[/tex]

[tex]x\left(1+2x^{3/6}+x^{2/6}\right)[/tex]

Let [itex]u=x^{1/6}[/itex].
