The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the integral \[ I = \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1})^n} \, dx \] for any natural number \( n > 1 \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Substitution Let \[ t = x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \] This substitution simplifies the integral. We will also need to express \( dx \) in terms of \( dt \). ### Step 2: Finding \( dx \) Differentiating both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ dt = \left(1 + \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}\right) dx \] Rearranging gives: \[ dx = \frac{dt}{1 + \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^2 + 1}}} \] ### Step 3: Express \( x \) in terms of \( t \) From the substitution \( t = x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1} \), we can isolate \( x \): \[ \sqrt{x^2 + 1} = t - x \] Squaring both sides: \[ x^2 + 1 = (t - x)^2 \] Expanding and rearranging gives: \[ x^2 + 1 = t^2 - 2tx + x^2 \implies 1 = t^2 - 2tx \implies 2tx = t^2 - 1 \implies x = \frac{t^2 - 1}{2t} \] ### Step 4: Substitute \( x \) and \( dx \) back into the integral Now we can substitute \( x \) and \( dx \) back into the integral: \[ I = \int_{t(0)}^{t(\infty)} \frac{1}{t^n} \cdot \frac{dt}{1 + \frac{\frac{t^2 - 1}{2t}}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{t^2 - 1}{2t}\right)^2 + 1}}} \] ### Step 5: Change of limits As \( x \) approaches \( 0 \), \( t \) approaches \( 1 \) and as \( x \) approaches \( \infty \), \( t \) approaches \( \infty \). Thus, the limits change from \( 0 \) to \( \infty \) to \( 1 \) to \( \infty \). ### Step 6: Simplifying the integral After substituting and simplifying, we will have: \[ I = \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{t^n} \cdot \frac{2t}{t^2 + 1} dt \] ### Step 7: Evaluating the integral Now we can split the integral into two parts: \[ I = 2 \int_{1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{t^{n-1}(t^2 + 1)} dt \] ### Step 8: Final evaluation Using the known integral results, we can evaluate this integral to find: \[ I = \frac{n}{n^2 - 1} \] ### Conclusion Thus, the final result of the integral is: \[ \int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{1}{(x + \sqrt{x^2 + 1})^n} \, dx = \frac{n}{n^2 - 1} \]
