Integral of $$$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x + 3}}$$$

Find $$$\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x + 3}}\, dx$$$.

Let $$$u=2 x + 3$$$.

Then $$$du=\left(2 x + 3\right)^{\prime }dx = 2 dx$$$ (steps can be seen »), and we have that $$$dx = \frac{du}{2}$$$.

The integral can be rewritten as

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x + 3}} d x}}} = {\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}} d u}}}$$

Apply the constant multiple rule $$$\int c f{\left(u \right)}\, du = c \int f{\left(u \right)}\, du$$$ with $$$c=\frac{1}{2}$$$ and $$$f{\left(u \right)} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}$$$:

$${\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{u}} d u}}} = {\color{red}{\left(\frac{\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}} d u}}{2}\right)}}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\int u^{n}\, du = \frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$$$ $$$\left(n \neq -1 \right)$$$ with $$$n=- \frac{1}{2}$$$:

$$\frac{{\color{red}{\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}} d u}}}}{2}=\frac{{\color{red}{\int{u^{- \frac{1}{2}} d u}}}}{2}=\frac{{\color{red}{\frac{u^{- \frac{1}{2} + 1}}{- \frac{1}{2} + 1}}}}{2}=\frac{{\color{red}{\left(2 u^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)}}}{2}=\frac{{\color{red}{\left(2 \sqrt{u}\right)}}}{2}$$

Recall that $$$u=2 x + 3$$$:

$$\sqrt{{\color{red}{u}}} = \sqrt{{\color{red}{\left(2 x + 3\right)}}}$$

Therefore,

$$\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x + 3}} d x} = \sqrt{2 x + 3}$$

Add the constant of integration:

$$\int{\frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x + 3}} d x} = \sqrt{2 x + 3}+C$$

$$$\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 x + 3}}\, dx = \sqrt{2 x + 3} + C$$$A
