Consider the Integral: a=0 b=1 (x^2)(sqrt(9x+8))dx

Does u=(9x+8) ?
can we factor out the x^2?

We have to give the value that the definite integral is

you have to use integration by parts. you want

u= 9x+8
du=9dx
v= (x^3)/3
dv=x^2dx

then figure out [ uv - integral of (vdu) ]
(x^3)/3 * (9x+8) - integral of [ (x^3)/3 * 9dx)]
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
