Answer

$\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{x^3+3x}+C$

Work Step by Step

$\int\frac{x^2+1}{\sqrt{x^3+3x}}dx$ Let $u=x^3+3x$. Then $du=(3x^2+3)dx$, so $(x^2+1)dx=\frac{du}{3}$. $=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{u}}*\frac{du}{3}$ $=\frac{1}{3}\int u^{-\frac{1}{2}} du$ $=\frac{1}{3}(\frac{u^\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}+C)$ $=\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{u}+C$ $=\frac{2}{3}\sqrt{x^3+3x}+C$
