Answer

$\int \frac{2x+1}{\sqrt {x+4}}dx = \frac{4\sqrt {x+4}^3}{3} - 15\sqrt {x+4} + c$

Work Step by Step

Use substitution to solve for $\int \frac{2x+1}{\sqrt {x+4}}dx$: Let $u = \sqrt {x+4}$, and solve for $x$: $x= u^2 -4$ Find $dx$: $dx = 2udu$ Now substitute into the integral: $\int \frac{2(u^2-4)+1}{u}2udu$ Simplify: $\int{4u^2-15} du$ Integrate: $\frac{4\sqrt {x+4}^3}{3} - 15\sqrt {x+4} + c$ Substitute back:
