Indefinite integral of $\int x\sqrt{x-1} \, \mathrm dx$

How can I evaluate the indefinite integral $$\int x\sqrt{x-1} \, \mathrm dx?$$

I tried to calculatedo it using integration by parts, I get $$\int x\sqrt{x-1} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{2}{3}x(x-1)^{3/2} - \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{2}{5}\cdot(x-1)^{5/2}$$$$\int x\sqrt{x-1} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{2}{3}x(x-1)^{3/2} - \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{2}{5}\cdot(x-1)^{5/2}+C$$

But this is not the correct solution, and I don't understand why.

In the integration by parts formula, I used $f(x)=x$ and $g'(x)=(x-1)^{1/2}$ so $f'(x)=1$ and $g(x)=(x-1)^{3/2}\cdot\frac{2}{3}$.

What did I do wrong? I know I should use substitutional integrala substitution, but why does my solution not work? Thank you

What isHow can I evaluate the indefinite integral of x*(x-1)^0.5 ?$$\int x\sqrt{x-1} \, \mathrm dx?$$

I tried to calculate it using integration by parts, I get (2/3)x(x-1)^1.5 - (2/3)(2/5)(x-1)^2.5 $$\int x\sqrt{x-1} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{2}{3}x(x-1)^{3/2} - \frac{2}{3}\cdot\frac{2}{5}\cdot(x-1)^{5/2}$$

But this is not the correct solution, and I don't understand why.

In the integration by parts formula I used f=x g'=(x-1)^0.5$f(x)=x$ and $g'(x)=(x-1)^{1/2}$ so f'=1 g=(x-1)^1$f'(x)=1$ and $g(x)=(x-1)^{3/2}\cdot\frac{2}{3}$.5*(2/3)

What is the indefinite integral of x*(x-1)^0.5 ?

I tried to calculate it using integration by parts, I get (2/3)x(x-1)^1.5 - (2/3)(2/5)(x-1)^2.5

But this is not the correct solution, and I don't understand why.

In the integration by parts formula I used f=x g'=(x-1)^0.5 so f'=1 g=(x-1)^1.5*(2/3)
