Integral: x/1+sqrt(x)

Hey guys,

I could really use some hints on how to solve the integral $$\int \frac{x}{1+\sqrt{x}} dx$$
I tried some substitutions, and doing some manipulations on the expression, with no solution. Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,

$$1+\sqrt{x} = t$$

yea, tried that. but I end up with an expression where x cant be canceled. unless Im missing something here.

Notice that x = (t - 1)^2.

you could use the residue theorem from complex analysis (I think)

The residue theorem does not pertain to antiderivatives.
