Class 12 Maths · Integrals · Long Answer #63

Evaluate \(\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x} \left(\sqrt{x} + 1\right) \left(\sqrt{x} + 2\right)}\,dx\). Work for x>0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(2 \log{\left(\frac{\sqrt{x} + 1}{\sqrt{x} + 2} \right)}\) + C
  1. Let u=√x, so dx/√x=2du.
  2. The integral is 2∫du/[(u+1)(u+2)]=2∫[1/(u+1)−1/(u+2)]du.
  3. Integrate to 2ln|(u+1)/(u+2)| and replace u by √x; the ratio is positive.
  4. Therefore the required integral is \(2 \log{\left(\frac{\sqrt{x} + 1}{\sqrt{x} + 2} \right)}\) + C.
