Answer

$$\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{5s+4}}ds=\frac{2\sqrt{5s+4}}{5}+C$$

Work Step by Step

$$A=\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{5s+4}}ds$$ We set $u=\sqrt{5s+4}$. Then $$du=\frac{(5s+4)'}{2\sqrt{5s+4}}ds=\frac{5}{2\sqrt{5s+4}}ds$$ That means, $$\frac{1}{\sqrt{5s+4}}ds=\frac{2}{5}du$$ Therefore, $$A=\frac{2}{5}\int du=\frac{2u}{5}+C$$ $$A=\frac{2\sqrt{5s+4}}{5}+C$$
