Integrate the following--->
{x3+1/(whole root over)x2+x}dx
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Do you mean [tex]\int \frac{x^3+1}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}\,dx[/tex] or [tex]\int \left(x^3+\frac{1}{\sqrt{x^2+x}}\right)dx?[/tex]

Either way, the best thing to do is to start by completing the square in the denominator, then using a bunch of trig substitution stuff.
 
x3+13=(x+1)(x2-x+1)
x2+x=x(x+1)

Is it enough help?

Actually, x3 + 1 = (x + 1)(x2 - x + 1).

In any case, we still don't know exactly what the integrand is.

I mean the first image.
 
Mark44 thanks for the correction.

perfectibilis start by writing x3+1 with

[tex]\sqrt{(x+1)^2(x^2-x+1)^2}[/tex]
