Homework Statement


Integrate: (5x-6)2/x1/2


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I tried substitution, letting u=5x-6 and then plugging that in but realized that I didn't have the proper set up for that. I'm unsure how to go about this; should I factor out the numerator or would that only make things more difficult?

Multiply (5x-6)^2 out and separate the equation into three terms.
 
Expand the numerator and then it should be easy.
 
It was very easy indeed. thanks.
