How to evaluate $int frac{dx}{(2x+1)sqrt{3x+2}}$

Evaluate $$int frac{dx}{(2x+1)sqrt{3x+2}}$$



I used the substitution,$$t=3x+2$$



Which leads to $$dt=3dx$$



But then the denominator becomes much more complex to simplify(I can show my working if necessary). Is my substitution wrong?
Please Help!

          If you do $x=dfrac{y^2-2}3$ and $mathrm dx=dfrac23y,mathrm dy$, then your function becomes a rational function (because then $3x+2=y^2$).

          • Nice Substitution! Then it can be simplified to partial fractions to get an answer. Would you mind telling me how to find reference for these kind of substitutions? Because I find it hard to get the proper substitution for most problems. Thanks.

            @emil I am not aware of a good reference for this. Perhaps that you might consider asking that as another question. In this case, I just thought that doing $3x+2=y^2$ would eliminate the square root.

          Hint:



          Set $sqrt{3x+2}=yimpliesdfrac{3dx}{2sqrt{3x+2}}=dy$



          $3x+2=y^2iff2x+1=?$

            You should substitute $3x+2 = t^2$, then the given integral can be solved in the next step using the direct formula.
