TopicIntegration by Substitution

7 Let \(I = \int _ { 1 } ^ { 4 } \frac { 1 } { x ( 4 - \sqrt { } x ) } \mathrm { d } x\).
  1. Use the substitution \(u = \sqrt { } x\) to show that \(I = \int _ { 1 } ^ { 2 } \frac { 2 } { u ( 4 - u ) } \mathrm { d } u\).
  2. Hence show that \(I = \frac { 1 } { 2 } \ln 3\).
