let ϕ(x)= (((x+a)/(x+b)))^(1/4)  =(((x+b +a−b)/(x+b)))^(1/4)  =(1+((a−b)/(x+b)))^(1/4)  ⇒  ϕ^′ (x)=(1/4)(−((a−b)/((x+b)^2 )))(((x+a)/(x+b)))^((1/4)−1) =((b−a)/4)(x+b)^(−2)  (((x+a)^(−(3/4)) )/((x+b)^(−(3/4)) ))  =((b−a)/4) (x+b)^(−2+(3/4))  (x+a)^(−(3/4))  =((b−a)/4)(x+a)^(−(3/4))  (x+b)^(−(5/4))  ⇒  (4/(b−a)) ϕ^′ (x) = { (x+a)^(−3) (x+b)^(−5) }^(1/4)  ⇒  ∫  {(x+a)^(−3) (x+b)^(−5) }^(1/4)  =(4/(b−a)) (((x+a)/(x+b)))^(1/4)  +c   the correct answer is (C).

$${let}\:\varphi\left({x}\right)=\:\left(\frac{{x}+{a}}{{x}+{b}}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:=\left(\frac{{x}+{b}\:+{a}−{b}}{{x}+{b}}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:=\left(\mathrm{1}+\frac{{a}−{b}}{{x}+{b}}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\varphi^{'} \left({x}\right)=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}\left(−\frac{{a}−{b}}{\left({x}+{b}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} }\right)\left(\frac{{x}+{a}}{{x}+{b}}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}−\mathrm{1}} =\frac{{b}−{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\left({x}+{b}\right)^{−\mathrm{2}} \:\frac{\left({x}+{a}\right)^{−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}} }{\left({x}+{b}\right)^{−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}} } \\ $$$$=\frac{{b}−{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\:\left({x}+{b}\right)^{−\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:\left({x}+{a}\right)^{−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:=\frac{{b}−{a}}{\mathrm{4}}\left({x}+{a}\right)^{−\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:\left({x}+{b}\right)^{−\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{4}}{{b}−{a}}\:\varphi^{'} \left({x}\right)\:=\:\left\{\:\left({x}+{a}\right)^{−\mathrm{3}} \left({x}+{b}\right)^{−\mathrm{5}} \right\}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:\Rightarrow \\ $$$$\int\:\:\left\{\left({x}+{a}\right)^{−\mathrm{3}} \left({x}+{b}\right)^{−\mathrm{5}} \right\}^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:=\frac{\mathrm{4}}{{b}−{a}}\:\left(\frac{{x}+{a}}{{x}+{b}}\right)^{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}} \:+{c}\:\:\:{the}\:{correct}\:{answer}\:{is}\:\left({C}\right). \\ $$

But Sir it is by option checking, isn't there a method without seeing options?

I don′t trust in (b) and (d) because why should  there be a change of sign?  ∫t^(1/4) dt=(4/5)t^(5/4)   so by instinct it should be the one with the 4  ⇒ I′d vote for (c)  (d/dx)[(4/(b−a))(((x+a)/(x+b)))^(1/4) ]=(4/(b−a))×(d/dx)[(((x+a)/(x+b)))^(1/4) ]=  =(4/(b−a))×(1/4)(((x+a)/(x+b)))^(−(3/4)) ×((1×(x+b)−1×(x+a))/((x+b)^2 ))=  =(1/(b−a))(((x+a)/(x+b)))^(−(3/4)) ×((b−a)/((x+b)^2 ))=(((x+b)/(x+a)))^(3/4) ×(1/((x+b)^2 ))=  =(((x+b)^((3/4)−2) )/((x+a)^(3/4) ))=(((x+b)^(−(5/4)) )/((x+a)^(3/4) ))=(x+b)^(−(5/4)) (x+a)^(−(3/4)) =  =((x+a)^(−3) (x+b)^(−5) )^(1/4)

sir you can try the changement ((x+a)/(x+b))=t^4  ...
