Standard +0.3 This is a straightforward integration by parts question with a clear choice of u and dv, followed by routine evaluation of limits. While it requires proper technique and careful algebra, it's a standard C3 exercise with no conceptual surprises, making it slightly easier than average.
Let \(u = 1 + x \Rightarrow \int_0^1 x(1+x)^{-1/2}dx = \int_1^4 (u-1)u^{-1/2}du\)
