Question:

If $\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{x+2}-\sqrt{x+1}}=\frac{2}{3}\left[(\lambda+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}+\lambda^{\frac{3}{2}}\right]+C$, then the value of λ is

Options:

x - 1

x

x + 1

\(\frac{1}{x}\)

Correct Answer:

x + 1

Explanation:

$I=\int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{x+2}-\sqrt{x+1}}=\int(\sqrt{x+2}+\sqrt{x+1})dx$

$=\frac{2}{3}(x+2)^{\frac{3}{2}}+\frac{2}{3}(x+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}+C$

= x + 1
