Let's go ahead and multiply. It's happened bottom by the conjugated. So let's write this So this first part will stay in the same and then I'LL multiply its happened bottom by X plus one minus radical X. This is a common trick. I'm often simplifies things. So after multiplying viso in the numerator, you just multiplied by one. And then in the denominator, we have a difference of squares that something of this form. And when you multiply that out, you always get a square minus B square. So on our problem that she's going to be X plus one that's a swear and then minus piece where? Which is just X. So here, of course, I'm taking eh to be radical X plus one B equals radical X. Now let's just simplified this denominator here. That's just simplifies toe one. And then I could just bright this as X plus one radical X t X. So if this plus one is bothering you, go ahead and do a U substitution before he do the power rule. But in any case, after integrating this, we use the power rule. So that becomes X plus one to the three halfs power, and then you multiplied by two over three and then my tiss and then hear this becomes X to the three half power to over three plus e, and that's your final answer.
