Mathway - Calculus Problem Solver

The document provides steps to integrate ∫x√2x + 1dx using u-substitution. The key steps are: 1) Let u = 2x + 1, then du = 2dx. 2) Rewrite the integral in terms of u and du and integrate using power rules. 3) Simplify and combine like terms to arrive at the final integral of 1/10(2x + 1)2 - 1/6(2x + 1)2 + C.
