You must mean y/sqrt(2y+1) dy
Use the substitution 2y + 1 = u
dy = du/2
y = (u-1)/2
The integral becomes
(Integral of) [(1/2)(u-1)/sqrt u]du/2
= (Integral of) (1/4) [sqrt u - 1/sqrt u] du
You finish it.
Integrate: y/sqrt(2y+1) dx

Thanks!
Actually, the problem was printed in my textbook like that with the equation using the variable y, but with dx rather than dy.
This seems to be a textbook error. I wasn't sure whether that was the case or whether I was doing something wrong.
