Solution Steps

To solve the integral $\int x^{5} \sqrt{x^{3}+1} \, dx$, we can use a substitution method. Let's set $u = x^3 + 1$, which simplifies the integral. Then, we find $du$ in terms of $dx$ and substitute back into the integral to solve it.

Step 1: Identify the Integral and Consider Substitution

We are given the integral: \[ \int x^{5} \sqrt{x^{3}+1} \, dx \] To simplify this integral, we can use substitution. Let: \[ u = x^3 + 1 \] Then, the derivative of \(u\) with respect to \(x\) is: \[ \frac{du}{dx} = 3x^2 \implies du = 3x^2 \, dx \implies \frac{du}{3} = x^2 \, dx \]

Step 2: Rewrite the Integral in Terms of \(u\)

Next, we need to express \(x^5 \sqrt{x^3 + 1} \, dx\) in terms of \(u\). Notice that: \[ x^5 = x^3 \cdot x^2 = (u - 1) \cdot x^2 \] Thus, the integral becomes: \[ \int x^5 \sqrt{x^3 + 1} \, dx = \int (u - 1) x^2 \sqrt{u} \, dx \] Substitute \(x^2 \, dx\) with \(\frac{du}{3}\): \[ \int (u - 1) \sqrt{u} \cdot \frac{du}{3} \]

Step 3: Simplify the Integral

Factor out the constant \(\frac{1}{3}\): \[ \frac{1}{3} \int (u - 1) \sqrt{u} \, du \] Distribute \(\sqrt{u}\) inside the integral: \[ \frac{1}{3} \int (u^{3/2} - u^{1/2}) \, du \]

Step 4: Integrate Each Term

Now, integrate each term separately: \[ \frac{1}{3} \left( \int u^{3/2} \, du - \int u^{1/2} \, du \right) \] Using the power rule for integration: \[ \int u^{3/2} \, du = \frac{u^{5/2}}{5/2} = \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2} \] \[ \int u^{1/2} \, du = \frac{u^{3/2}}{3/2} = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} \] Thus, the integral becomes: \[ \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2} - \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} \right) \]

Step 5: Combine and Simplify

Combine the terms: \[ \frac{1}{3} \left( \frac{2}{5} u^{5/2} - \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} \right) = \frac{2}{15} u^{5/2} - \frac{2}{9} u^{3/2} \]

Step 6: Substitute Back \(u = x^3 + 1\)

Finally, substitute back \(u = x^3 + 1\): \[ \frac{2}{15} (x^3 + 1)^{5/2} - \frac{2}{9} (x^3 + 1)^{3/2} + C \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{\frac{2}{15} (x^3 + 1)^{5/2} - \frac{2}{9} (x^3 + 1)^{3/2} + C} \]
