If $I=\int \frac{x^{5}}{\sqrt{1+x^{3}}} d x$, then I is equal to

  • A
    $\frac{2}{9}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{\frac{5}{2}}+\frac{2}{3}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}+C$
  • B
    $\log \left|\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{1+x^{3}}\right|+C$
  • C
    $\log \left|\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{1+x^{3}}\right|+C$
  • Correct answer
    D
    $\frac{2}{9}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{2}{3}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}+C$

Solution

$\mathrm{I}=\int \frac{\mathrm{x}^{5}}{\sqrt{1+\mathrm{x}^{3}}} \mathrm{dx}=\int \frac{\mathrm{x}^{3} \cdot \mathrm{x}^{2}}{\sqrt{1+\mathrm{x}^{3}}} \mathrm{dx}$ Let $1+x^{3}=t^{2}$, so that $3 x^{2} d x=2 t d t$ $\begin{array}{l} \Rightarrow x^{2} d x=\frac{2}{3} t d t \\ \left.\therefore I=\int \frac{\left(t^{2}-1\right) \frac{2}{3} t d t}{t}=\frac{2}{3} \int t^{2}-1\right) d t \\ =\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{t^{3}}{3}-t\right)+C=\frac{2}{3}\left[\frac{\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{3 / 2}}{3}-\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right]+C \\ =\frac{2}{9}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{3 / 2}-\frac{2}{3}\left(1+x^{3}\right)^{1 / 2}+C \end{array}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
