We can solve the integral $\int\frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2+6}}dx$ by applying integration by substitution method (also called U-Substitution). First, we must identify a section within the integral with a new variable (let's call it $u$), which when substituted makes the integral easier. We see that $\sqrt{x^2+6}$ it's a good candidate for substitution. Let's define a variable $u$ and assign it to the choosen part

$u=\sqrt{x^2+6}$

Differentiate both sides of the equation $u=\sqrt{x^2+6}$

$du=\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x^2+6}\right)$

Find the derivative

$\frac{d}{dx}\left(\sqrt{x^2+6}\right)$

The power rule for differentiation states that if $n$ is a real number and $f(x) = x^n$, then $f'(x) = nx^{n-1}$

$\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2+6\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2+6\right)$

The derivative of a sum of two or more functions is the sum of the derivatives of each function

$\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2+6\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left(\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(6\right)\right)$

The derivative of the constant function ($6$) is equal to zero

$\frac{1}{2}\left(x^2+6\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^2\right)$

The power rule for differentiation states that if $n$ is a real number and $f(x) = x^n$, then $f'(x) = nx^{n-1}$

$1\left(x^2+6\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}x$
