7–64. Integration review Evaluate the following integrals.
44. ∫ from 0 to √3 of (6x³) / √(x² + 1) dx
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Recognize the integral ∫ from 0 to √3 of (6x³) / √(x² + 1) dx. Notice that the integrand involves a rational function with a square root in the denominator. This suggests substitution might simplify the integral.
Step 2: Use the substitution u = x² + 1. Compute the derivative of u with respect to x: du/dx = 2x, or equivalently, du = 2x dx. This substitution will simplify the square root term and the denominator.
Step 3: Rewrite the limits of integration in terms of u. When x = 0, u = 0² + 1 = 1. When x = √3, u = (√3)² + 1 = 4. The integral bounds are now transformed from x = 0 to x = √3 into u = 1 to u = 4.
Step 4: Substitute into the integral. Replace x² with (u - 1) (from the substitution u = x² + 1), and replace dx with du/2x. The integral becomes ∫ from 1 to 4 of (6x³) / √u * (du / 2x). Simplify the expression by canceling x terms where possible.
Step 5: Simplify the integral further. After substitution and simplification, the integral should now be expressed entirely in terms of u. Evaluate the resulting integral using standard integration techniques, such as power rule or other applicable methods.

Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Definite Integrals
A definite integral calculates the accumulation of a quantity, represented as the area under a curve, between two specified limits. In this case, the integral from 0 to √3 indicates that we are interested in the area under the curve of the function (6x³) / √(x² + 1) from x = 0 to x = √3.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links differentiation and integration, stating that if F is an antiderivative of f on an interval [a, b], then the definite integral of f from a to b is F(b) - F(a). This theorem is essential for evaluating the definite integral after finding the antiderivative of the integrand.
