Question:

The value of $\int\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3 / 2}\left(\frac{x^2-1}{x^2}\right) d x$, is

Options:

$\frac{2}{3}\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3 / 2}+C$

$\frac{2}{5}\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{5 / 2}+C$

$2\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{1 / 2}+C$

none of these

Correct Answer:

$\frac{2}{5}\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{5 / 2}+C$

Explanation:

We have,

$I=\int\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3 / 2}\left(\frac{x^2-1}{x^2}\right) d x$

$\Rightarrow I=\int\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{3 / 2} d\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{2}{5}\left(x+\frac{1}{x}\right)^{5 / 2}+C$
