7 Integration by Rationalizing Substitution

Here are the solutions to the exercises: 1. Let u = x - 3. Then du = dx and the integral becomes ∫(u+5)√u du = (2/3)(u+5)3/2 + C = (2/3)(x-1)√x-1 + C 2. Let u = 2x + 3. Then du = 2dx and the integral becomes ∫7/u4 du = (7/3)u-3 + C = (7/3)(2x+3)-3 + C 3. Let u = x2 + 4. Then du = 2xdx and the integral becomes ∫-e3/u

Chapter 5 The Techniques of Integration

5.6 Two Rationalizing Substitutions


RS I Whenever an integrand contains a single irrational expression of the form
p
(ax + b) q ,

where p and q are integers, the substitution


1
u = (ax + b) q ,

will convert the given integrand into rational function of u.


RS II If xq , q is an odd integer, and a single irrational expression of one of the
forms
p p p
a 2 − x2 , a2 + x2 , or x2 − a 2

appear in the integrand, then the substitution


p p p
u = a2 − x2 , u = a 2 + x2 , or u= x2 − a2 ,

will convert the integrand into a rational function of u.

Solution:
√ By RS I, we let
u = 3 x + 8 = (x + 8)1/3 ⇔ u3 = x + 8
x = u3 − 8
dx = 3u2 du

Then, dx = (3u du) = 3 .

To evaluate the second term (∗) , we use partial fraction

decomposition and write,
8 8 A Bu + C

u3 −8 2
(u − 2)(u + 2u + 4) u − 2 u + 2u + 4
So,
8 = A(u2 + 2u + 4) + (Bu + C)(u − 2).
When u = 2, A = 23
when u = 0, C = − 83 ,
when u = 1, B = − 23 . Therefore,

we have u2 + 2u + 4 = (u2 + 2u + 1) + 3 = (u + 1)2 + 3. Let
y = uZ+ 1,u = y − 1 and du Z= dy . Moreso, u + 4 = y − 1 + 4 = y + 3 So,
