Answer

\[\frac{2}{3}\left[(x+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}-x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right]+C\]

Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x}}dx\] \[I=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{x+1}+\sqrt{x}}\times\left(\frac{\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x}}\right)dx\] \[I=\int\left[\frac{\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x}}{x+1-x}\right]dx\] \[I=\int[\sqrt{x+1}-\sqrt{x}]dx\] \[I=\frac{2(x+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C\] Hence \[\;\;I=\frac{2(x+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}-\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}+C\] Where $C$ is constant of integration \[I=\frac{2}{3}\left[(x+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}-x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right]+C\] Hence, \[I=\frac{2}{3}\left[(x+1)^{\frac{3}{2}}-x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right]+C.\]
