I cannot find a substitution that work for this integral
∫dx/2√x+2x
what should I do?

There are several methods for solving integrals, including substitution, integration by parts, and partial fractions. The best way to determine which method to use is to look at the integrand and try to identify any patterns or similarities to known integrals. Practice and experience will also help in choosing the most efficient method.
While calculators can be helpful for checking your work, it is important to learn how to solve integrals by hand. Many integrals require knowledge of algebraic and trigonometric identities, which calculators may not be able to handle. Additionally, understanding the steps to solving an integral will deepen your understanding of the concept.
The constant of integration represents all possible solutions to an indefinite integral. It is added to the end of the integral to account for any possible values that could make the integral true. Without the constant of integration, the solution to an indefinite integral would not be complete.
In some cases, integrals cannot be solved using traditional methods. In these cases, numerical methods such as Simpson's rule or the trapezoidal rule can be used to approximate the value of the integral. However, these methods are not always accurate and should only be used as a last resort.
Once you have solved an integral, you can check your work by taking the derivative of your solution. If the derivative matches the original integrand, then your solution is correct. You can also use online integral calculators or ask a fellow mathematician to verify your solution.
