    The document provides the solution to an integral problem. It begins by stating the integral to solve, which is to find the integral from x=0 to x=infinity of the square root of x5 over 1 + x2 dx. It then applies a change of variables technique by letting u = 1 + x2, which allows rewriting the integral in terms of the new variable u. After some algebraic steps of substituting x2 for u-1 and x4 for (u-1)2, the integral is rewritten solely in terms of u. Finally, the integral is evaluated to arrive at the solution of (1 + x2)7/2 - (1 + x2)5/2 + (1

    Problem 1. Find Z p
    x5 1 + x2 dx

    Solution. Our intention is to get rid of the radical, so we apply the change of variables

    u = 1 + x2

    which means that du = 2x dx or equivalently


    1
    x dx = du
    2

    Now we have to express x as function of the new variable u. We obtain x2 = u − 1, which implies
    x4 = (u − 1)2 . We use all this to solve our integral in the following way:

    Z p Z p
    x5 1 + x2 dx = x4 1 + x2 x dx
    √
    Z
    du
    = u(u − 1)2
    2
    1 √
    Z
    = u(u2 − 2u + 1) du
    2
    Z
    1
    = (u5/2 − 2u3/2 + u1/2 ) du
    2
     
    1 2 7/2 2 5/2 2 3/2
    = u −2· u + u +C
    2 7 5 3
    1 2 1
    = (1 + x2 )7/2 − (1 + x2 )5/2 + (1 + x2 )3/2 + C
    7 5 3

    which is the final answer.
