Integrate by parts,

∫ x√(1+x) dx

= x(1+x)³/² / (3/2) - ∫(1+x)³/² / (3/2) dx

= ⅔x(1+x)³/² - ⅔(1+x)^(5/2) / (5/2)

= ⅔x(1+x)³/² - 4/15 (1+x)^(5/2)

= (2/15)(1+x)³/² (5x - 2(1+x))

= 2/15 (1+x)³/² (3x - 2)

= 2/15 [(1+k)³/² (3k - 2)] - 2/15 [(1+0)³/² (3(0) - 2)]

= 2/15 (1+k)³/² (3k - 2) + 4/15


So 2/15 (1+k)³/² (3k - 2) + 4/15 = 4/15

2/15 (1+k)³/² (4/15 - 2/5 k) = 0

(1+k)³/² = 0 or 4/15 - 2/5 k = 0
(Reject as k is positive constant, so (1+k)³/² > 0 for all real k)


4/15 = 2/5 k

k = 4/15 x 5/2

k = ⅔
