Evaluate the indefinite integral
We need
I ( x ) = ∫ x + 7 x d x = ∫ 1 + 7 x d x . I(x)=\int \sqrt{\frac{x+7}{x}}\,dx=\int \sqrt{1+\frac{7}{x}}\,dx. I ( x ) = ∫ x x + 7 d x = ∫ 1 + x 7 d x .
A standard substitution works well:
x = 7 sinh 2 t . x=7\sinh^2 t. x = 7 sinh 2 t .
Then
x + 7 x = 7 sinh 2 t + 7 7 sinh 2 t = sinh 2 t + 1 sinh 2 t = cosh 2 t sinh 2 t = coth 2 t , \frac{x+7}{x}=\frac{7\sinh^2 t+7}{7\sinh^2 t}=\frac{\sinh^2 t+1}{\sinh^2 t}=\frac{\cosh^2 t}{\sinh^2 t}=\coth^2 t, x x + 7 = 7 sinh 2 t 7 sinh 2 t + 7 = sinh 2 t sinh 2 t + 1 = sinh 2 t cosh 2 t = coth 2 t ,
so
x + 7 x = coth t . \sqrt{\frac{x+7}{x}}=\coth t. x x + 7 = coth t .
Also,
d x = 14 sinh t cosh t d t . dx=14\sinh t\cosh t\,dt. d x = 14 sinh t cosh t d t .
Hence
I ( x ) = ∫ coth t ⋅ 14 sinh t cosh t d t = 14 ∫ cosh 2 t d t . I(x)=\int \coth t\cdot 14\sinh t\cosh t\,dt
=14\int \cosh^2 t\,dt. I ( x ) = ∫ coth t ⋅ 14 sinh t cosh t d t = 14 ∫ cosh 2 t d t .
Using
cosh 2 t = 1 + cosh 2 t 2 , \cosh^2 t=\frac{1+\cosh 2t}{2}, cosh 2 t = 2 1 + cosh 2 t ,
we get
I ( x ) = 14 ∫ cosh 2 t d t = 14 ( t 2 + sinh 2 t 4 ) + C = 7 t + 7 2 sinh 2 t + C . I(x)=14\int \cosh^2 t\,dt
=14\left(\frac{t}{2}+\frac{\sinh 2t}{4}\right)+C
=7t+\frac{7}{2}\sinh 2t+C. I ( x ) = 14 ∫ cosh 2 t d t = 14 ( 2 t + 4 sinh 2 t ) + C = 7 t + 2 7 sinh 2 t + C .
Now,
sinh 2 t = 2 sinh t cosh t . \sinh 2t=2\sinh t\cosh t. sinh 2 t = 2 sinh t cosh t .
Since x = 7 sinh 2 t x=7\sinh^2 t x = 7 sinh 2 t ,
sinh t = x 7 , cosh t = 1 + sinh 2 t = x + 7 7 . \sinh t=\sqrt{\frac{x}{7}},
\qquad
\cosh t=\sqrt{1+\sinh^2 t}=\sqrt{\frac{x+7}{7}}. sinh t = 7 x , cosh t = 1 + sinh 2 t = 7 x + 7 .
Thus
7 2 sinh 2 t = 7 sinh t cosh t = 7 x 7 x + 7 7 = x ( x + 7 ) . \frac{7}{2}\sinh 2t=7\sinh t\cosh t
=7\sqrt{\frac{x}{7}}\sqrt{\frac{x+7}{7}}
=\sqrt{x(x+7)}. 2 7 sinh 2 t = 7 sinh t cosh t = 7 7 x 7 x + 7 = x ( x + 7 ) .
Also,
t = sinh − 1 x 7 . t=\sinh^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{x}{7}}. t = sinh − 1 7 x .
So
I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 sinh − 1 x 7 + C . I(x)=\sqrt{x(x+7)}+7\sinh^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{x}{7}}+C. I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 sinh − 1 7 x + C .
Using
sinh − 1 u = ln ( u + u 2 + 1 ) , \sinh^{-1} u=\ln\left(u+\sqrt{u^2+1}\right), sinh − 1 u = ln ( u + u 2 + 1 ) ,
with u = x / 7 u=\sqrt{x/7} u = x /7 ,
sinh − 1 x 7 = ln ( x 7 + x + 7 7 ) = ln ( x + x + 7 7 ) . \sinh^{-1}\sqrt{\frac{x}{7}}
=\ln\left(\sqrt{\frac{x}{7}}+\sqrt{\frac{x+7}{7}}\right)
=\ln\left(\frac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+7}}{\sqrt{7}}\right). sinh − 1 7 x = ln ( 7 x + 7 x + 7 ) = ln ( 7 x + x + 7 ) .
Therefore,
I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 ln ( x + x + 7 7 ) + C . I(x)=\sqrt{x(x+7)}+7\ln\left(\frac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+7}}{\sqrt{7}}\right)+C. I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 ln ( 7 x + x + 7 ) + C .
Use the condition I ( 9 ) = 12 + 7 ln 7 I(9)=12+7\ln 7 I ( 9 ) = 12 + 7 ln 7 to find C C C
Substitute x = 9 x=9 x = 9 :
9 ( 16 ) = 12 , \sqrt{9(16)}=12, 9 ( 16 ) = 12 ,
and
9 + 16 7 = 3 + 4 7 = 7 7 = 7 . \frac{\sqrt{9}+\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{7}}=\frac{3+4}{\sqrt7}=\frac{7}{\sqrt7}=\sqrt7. 7 9 + 16 = 7 3 + 4 = 7 7 = 7 .
So
I ( 9 ) = 12 + 7 ln ( 7 ) + C = 12 + 7 2 ln 7 + C . I(9)=12+7\ln(\sqrt7)+C=12+\frac{7}{2}\ln7+C. I ( 9 ) = 12 + 7 ln ( 7 ) + C = 12 + 2 7 ln 7 + C .
Given
I ( 9 ) = 12 + 7 ln 7 , I(9)=12+7\ln7, I ( 9 ) = 12 + 7 ln 7 ,
therefore
7 2 ln 7 + C = 7 ln 7 ⟹ C = 7 2 ln 7. \frac{7}{2}\ln7+C=7\ln7
\implies C=\frac{7}{2}\ln7. 2 7 ln 7 + C = 7 ln 7 ⟹ C = 2 7 ln 7.
Hence
I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 ln ( x + x + 7 7 ) + 7 2 ln 7. I(x)=\sqrt{x(x+7)}+7\ln\left(\frac{\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+7}}{\sqrt{7}}\right)+\frac{7}{2}\ln7. I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 ln ( 7 x + x + 7 ) + 2 7 ln 7.
Combine the logarithms:
I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 ln ( x + x + 7 ) . I(x)=\sqrt{x(x+7)}+7\ln(\sqrt{x}+\sqrt{x+7}). I ( x ) = x ( x + 7 ) + 7 ln ( x + x + 7 ) .
Compute I ( 1 ) I(1) I ( 1 )
At x = 1 x=1 x = 1 ,
1 ( 1 + 7 ) = 8 = 2 2 . \sqrt{1(1+7)}=\sqrt8=2\sqrt2. 1 ( 1 + 7 ) = 8 = 2 2 .
Also,
1 + 8 = 1 + 2 2 . \sqrt1+\sqrt8=1+2\sqrt2. 1 + 8 = 1 + 2 2 .
Thus
I ( 1 ) = 2 2 + 7 ln ( 1 + 2 2 ) . I(1)=2\sqrt2+7\ln(1+2\sqrt2). I ( 1 ) = 2 2 + 7 ln ( 1 + 2 2 ) .
Comparing with
I ( 1 ) = α + 7 ln ( 1 + 2 2 ) , I(1)=\alpha+7\ln(1+2\sqrt2), I ( 1 ) = α + 7 ln ( 1 + 2 2 ) ,
we get
α = 2 2 . \alpha=2\sqrt2. α = 2 2 .
Therefore,
α 4 = ( 2 2 ) 4 . \alpha^4=(2\sqrt2)^4. α 4 = ( 2 2 ) 4 .
Now,
( 2 2 ) 2 = 8 ⇒ ( 2 2 ) 4 = 8 2 = 64. (2\sqrt2)^2=8
\quad\Rightarrow\quad
(2\sqrt2)^4=8^2=64. ( 2 2 ) 2 = 8 ⇒ ( 2 2 ) 4 = 8 2 = 64.
Final answer
64 \boxed{64} 64
