MCQ
Evaluate: $\int_2^4 \frac{\left(x^2+x\right)}{\sqrt{2 x+1}} d x$
  • A
    $57-5 \sqrt{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{57-\sqrt{5}}{5}$
  • C
    $\frac{57+5 \sqrt{5}}{5}$
  • $\frac{57-5 \sqrt{5}}{5}$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$\frac{57-5 \sqrt{5}}{5}$
We have, $\int_2^4 \frac{\left(x^2+x\right)}{\sqrt{2 x+1}} d x$
Integrating by parts, we get
$\int_2^4 \frac{\left(x^2+x\right)}{\sqrt{2 x+1}} d x=\left[\left(x^2+x\right) \cdot \sqrt{2 x+1}\right]_2^4-\int_2^4(2 x+1) \cdot \sqrt{2 x+1} d x$
$=(60-6 \sqrt{5})-\int_2^4(2 x+1)^{3 / 2} d x$
$=(60-6 \sqrt{5})-\frac{1}{5} \cdot\left[(2 x+1)^{5 / 2}\right]_2^4$
$=(60-6 \sqrt{5})-\left(\frac{243}{5}-5 \sqrt{5}\right)$
$=\left(\frac{57}{5}-\sqrt{5}\right)=\left(\frac{57-5 \sqrt{5}}{5}\right)$
