Full solution

Q. 03xdxx4+16 \int_{0}^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{x d x}{\sqrt{x^{4}+16}}
  1. Set up integral: Set up the integral for evaluation.\newlineWe need to evaluate the integral of the function xdxx4+16\frac{x \, dx}{\sqrt{x^4 + 16}} from 00 to 3\sqrt{3}.
  2. Find substitution: Look for a substitution that simplifies the integral.\newlineNotice that the denominator contains an expression of the form x4+16x^4 + 16, which suggests a trigonometric substitution. However, since the x4x^4 term complicates a direct trigonometric substitution, we might consider a substitution that simplifies the x4x^4 term. Let's try the substitution u=x2u = x^2, which implies that du=2xdxdu = 2x dx.
  3. Rewrite in terms of uu: Rewrite the integral in terms of uu.\newlineSubstituting u=x2u = x^2 and du=2xdxdu = 2x dx into the integral, we get:\newline03xdxx4+16=1203duu2+16\int_{0}^{\sqrt{3}} \frac{x dx}{\sqrt{x^4 + 16}} = \frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{3} \frac{du}{\sqrt{u^2 + 16}}\newlineWe divided by 22 because we replaced 2xdx2x dx with dudu.
  4. Evaluate with new variable: Evaluate the integral with the new variable uu. Now we have the integral 1203duu2+16\frac{1}{2} \int_{0}^{3} \frac{du}{\sqrt{u^2 + 16}}, which is a standard form that can be solved using a trigonometric substitution or by recognizing it as a form of the inverse hyperbolic sine function, asinh(u4)\text{asinh}(\frac{u}{4}). The derivative of asinh(u4)\text{asinh}(\frac{u}{4}) is 1u2+16\frac{1}{\sqrt{u^2 + 16}}, which matches our integrand.
  5. Find antiderivative: Find the antiderivative.\newlineThe antiderivative of 1u2+16\frac{1}{\sqrt{u^2 + 16}} is asinh(u4)\text{asinh}(\frac{u}{4}), so the antiderivative of our integral is:\newline12asinh(u4)+C\frac{1}{2} \text{asinh}(\frac{u}{4}) + C
  6. Substitute and evaluate: Substitute back in terms of xx and evaluate the definite integral.\newlineSubstituting back u=x2u = x^2, we have:\newline12\frac{1}{2} asinh(x24)\left(\frac{x^2}{4}\right) + CC\newlineNow we can evaluate the definite integral from 00 to 3\sqrt{3}:\newline12\frac{1}{2} [asinh((3)24)\left(\frac{(\sqrt{3})^2}{4}\right) - asinh(024)\left(\frac{0^2}{4}\right)]\newline= 12\frac{1}{2} [asinhu=x2u = x^211 - asinh00]
  7. Calculate inverse hyperbolic sine: Calculate the values of the inverse hyperbolic sine function.\newlineasinh(34)\text{asinh}(\frac{3}{4}) can be found using a calculator or a table of values, and asinh(0)\text{asinh}(0) is 00.\newlineSo the definite integral is:\newline12[asinh(34)0]\frac{1}{2} [\text{asinh}(\frac{3}{4}) - 0]\newline= 12asinh(34)\frac{1}{2} \text{asinh}(\frac{3}{4})
  8. Provide final answer: Provide the final answer.\newlineThe evaluated integral from 00 to 3\sqrt{3} of (xdx)/(x4+16)(x \, dx) / (\sqrt{x^4 + 16}) is 12asinh(34)\frac{1}{2} \text{asinh}(\frac{3}{4}).
