Solution
Solution Steps
To evaluate the integral \(\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{x+9}} \, dx\), we can use a substitution method. Let \(u = x + 9\), then \(du = dx\) and \(x = u - 9\). Substitute these into the integral and simplify.
Step 1: Substitution
To evaluate the integral \(\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{x+9}} \, dx\), we use the substitution \(u = x + 9\). Then, \(du = dx\) and \(x = u - 9\).
Step 2: Substitute and Simplify
Substitute \(u\) and \(du\) into the integral:
\[
\int \frac{x}{\sqrt{x+9}} \, dx = \int \frac{u-9}{\sqrt{u}} \, du
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
\int \frac{u-9}{\sqrt{u}} \, du = \int \left( \frac{u}{\sqrt{u}} - \frac{9}{\sqrt{u}} \right) du = \int \left( \sqrt{u} - \frac{9}{\sqrt{u}} \right) du
\]
Step 3: Integrate
Now, integrate each term separately:
\[
\int \sqrt{u} \, du - 9 \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{u}} \, du
\]
Using the power rule for integration:
\[
\int u^{1/2} \, du = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2}
\]
\[
\int u^{-1/2} \, du = 2 u^{1/2}
\]
Thus, the integral becomes:
\[
\frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} - 9 \cdot 2 u^{1/2} = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} - 18 u^{1/2}
\]
Step 4: Substitute Back
Substitute \(u = x + 9\) back into the expression:
\[
\frac{2}{3} (x+9)^{3/2} - 18 (x+9)^{1/2}
\]
