Lemma for Primitive of $x \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c}$
Let $a \in \R_{\ne 0}$.
Then:
- $\ds \int x \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x = \frac {\paren {\sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} }^3} {3 a} - \frac b {2 a} \int \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x$
Proof

\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \frac {2 a x \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x} {2 a}\) | multiplying top and bottom by $2 a$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \frac {\paren {2 a x + b - b} \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x} {2 a}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\text {(1)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {2 a} \int \paren {2 a x + b} \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x - \frac b {2 a} \int \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x\) | Linear Combination of Primitives |
Let:
\(\ds z\) | \(=\) | \(\ds a x^2 + b x + c\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \frac {\d z} {\d x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds 2 a x + b\) | Derivative of Power | ||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds \int \paren {2 a x + b} \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \sqrt z \rd z\) | Integration by Substitution | ||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {2 \paren {\sqrt z}^3} 3\) | Primitive of Power | |||||||||||
\(\text {(2)}: \quad\) | \(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {2 \paren {\sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} }^3} 3\) | substituting for $z$ |
So:
\(\ds \) | \(\) | \(\ds \int x \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {2 a} \int \paren {2 a x + b} \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x - \frac b {2 a} \int \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x\) | from $(1)$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac 1 {2 a} \paren {\frac {2 \paren {\sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} }^3} 3} - \frac b {2 a} \int \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x\) | from $(2)$ | |||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \frac {\paren {\sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} }^3} {3 a} - \frac b {2 a} \int \sqrt {a x^2 + b x + c} \rd x\) | simplifying |
