$\int\limits_0^1\frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x}-\sqrt{x}}$ is equal to |
$\frac{5\sqrt{2}}{3}$ $\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}$ $\frac{4\sqrt{3}}{3}$ $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{3}$ |
$\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}$ |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}$ Evaluate the integral: $\int_{0}^{1} \frac{dx}{\sqrt{1+x}-\sqrt{x}}$ Rationalize the denominator: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x}-\sqrt{x}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{x}} =\frac{\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{x}}{(1+x)-x} =\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{x}$ Thus the integral becomes: $\int_{0}^{1} \left(\sqrt{1+x}+\sqrt{x}\right)\,dx$ $\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1+x}\,dx+\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{x}\,dx$ Compute each: $\int\sqrt{1+x}\,dx=\frac{2}{3}(1+x)^{3/2}$ $\int\sqrt{x}\,dx=\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}$ $\frac{2}{3}(2\sqrt{2}-1)+\frac{2}{3} =\frac{2}{3}(2\sqrt{2}-1+1) =\frac{2}{3}(2\sqrt{2})$ $=\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}$ The value of the integral is $\frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3}$. |
