# Algebric Simplifying Process

I was just viewing a tutorial on how to solve the integral of ∫x × 6÷√x dx\int{x\ \times\ 6 \div\sqrt{x}}\ dx

And I noticed they simplified it to : ∫6√x dx\int6\sqrt{x}\ dx , before they started on the integral.

I wanted to know how they did such a simplification process.

=================

Write the root as an exponent of one half and use properties of exponents.

MathJax tip: You don’t have to \space. All you need is \ with an actual space following and it turns into a space automatically.

x×6÷√x=6x√x=6√x⋅√x√x=6√xx \times 6 \div \sqrt x = \frac{6x}{\sqrt x} = \frac{6\sqrt x \cdot \sqrt x}{\sqrt x} = 6\sqrt x

Thanks for the clarification!

Would it be possible to do the integral without simplifying it into 6(sqrt(x))?

@user36278 Sure, you could’ve used integration by parts for example. Which is why we use algebraic simplification first

@ Simple Art Wow, I just tried to do it with integration by parts and the answer looks really complicated, and I think I might have done it incorrectly as the graphs don’t match.

@user36278 ∫6x⋅1√xdxu        dv+∫2√x⋅6dxv            du=6x⋅2√xu        v\underset{\color{red}{u \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ dv}} {\int 6x \cdot \frac{1}{\sqrt x}dx } + \underset{\color{red}{v \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ du}} {\int 2\sqrt x \cdot6 dx } = \underset{\color{red}{u \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ v}} {6x\cdot 2\sqrt x }
