Answer

$$4\left(\frac{1}{3}(\sqrt{x}+1)^{3/2}- \sqrt{x}-1 \right)+C$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$ \int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{\sqrt{x}+1}}$$ Let $$u^2=\sqrt{x}+1 \ \ \ \ \ 2udu =\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}dx $$ Then $$ dx=4\sqrt{x}udu\ \ \to \ dx= 4(u^2-1)udu$$ Hence \begin{aligned} \int \frac{d x}{\sqrt{\sqrt{x}+1}}&=\int \frac{4(u^2-1)udu}{\sqrt{u^2}}\\ &= \int 4(u^2-1)du\\ &=4\left(\frac{1}{3}u^3- u \right)+C\\ &= 4\left(\frac{1}{3}(\sqrt{x}+1)^{3/2}- \sqrt{x}-1 \right)+C \end{aligned}
