#Don't understand why I got the answer.

I am confused as to why I got this as an answer. I got this far, and I'm not sure if I did anything wrong. I understand that I need to re evaluate the boundaries after substituting U, but it shouldn't matter after I plugged the original equation back in.

,align&\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1+\left(\frac{d}{dx}\frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)^{2}}dx
\=&\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1+\left(x^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^{2}}dx
\=&\int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{1+x}dx
\=&\frac{2}{3}\left(1+1\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{2}{3}\left(1+0\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}
\=&\frac{4\sqrt{2}-2}{3}

you shouldnt deviate from these steps here

turbid ledge
turbid ledge
#

therefore you havent showed or explained any work of what youve actually done

strong coral
#

I understand everything except this part.

turbid ledge
#

the integral of sqrt(x) is 2/3 x^(3/2)

#

so the integral of sqrt(x+1) is 2/3 (x+1)^(3/2)

strong coral
#

Like at all.

turbid ledge
#

you need to screenshot two lines at a time to show which step youre stuck on

strong coral
#

How to simplify it.

turbid ledge
#

so where did you get this from?

strong coral
#

I got all the steps to get to the final part.

#

Is the simplification part that messes me up.

strong coral
turbid ledge
#

dont make up words like especifically please

#

doing this step by step,

#

what would be simplified first

strong coral
#

I know the right side ends up being -2.

#

I the left side that trips me.

turbid ledge
#

thats not correct

strong coral
#

Well -2/3

turbid ledge
#

then what can you simplify next

strong coral
#

I can factor out the 2/3.

turbid ledge
#

I figured youd do 1 + 1 instead but alr

strong coral
#

Then do the inside of 1+1=2.

turbid ledge
#

that 3/2 there is an improper fraction

#

the next step youd do here is this:

#

now do you see a way to go from here?

strong coral
#

Yeah makes sense now. Just need to separate the 2 because I can write it as 2^1*2^1/2.

#

End up with 2*2^1/2 (or square root)-1, and distribute the 2/3 to everything.

turbid ledge
#

correct

strong coral
#

Alright thanks a lot, it makes more sense now. Didn't knew that you could just separate improper fractions like that.
