Mituna was doing his calculus homework. He came across this integral, but he got stuck, so he asked Latula for help. Latula, who is the master of all things radical, showed him this. ∫ 0 1 6 5 + x d x = D A + B C What is A + B + C + D ?

Hm, I wonder why my substitution x = 2 5 ( u 2 − 1 ) 2 didn't give me the same answer. Maybe it's because I need some sleep...

Thanks for providing your solution. I didn't try u = 5 + x at first because I figured it would be too easy lol.

We can solve this integral by making the substitution u = 5 + x . Then,
( u − 5 ) 2 = x ⇒ d x = 2 ( u − 5 ) d u . So our new intergal is
∫ 5 9 2 u ( u − 5 ) d u = ∫ 5 9 ( 2 u 3 / 2 − 1 0 u 1 / 2 ) d u = [ 5 4 u 5 / 2 − 3 2 0 u 3 / 2 ] 5 9 = 5 7 2 + 3 4 0 5 = 1 5 2 1 6 + 2 0 0 5
So, A + B + C + D = 4 3 6 .
