Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral \( \int_0^4 (3\sqrt{x} + 10x\sqrt{x}) \, dx \) and select the correct answer from the choices.

Solution

The given problem asks to evaluate the definite integral:

04(3x+10xx)dx\int_0^4 (3\sqrt{x} + 10x\sqrt{x}) \, dx

Let's break down the expression and solve the integral:

  1. First term: 3xdx=3x1/2dx\int 3\sqrt{x} \, dx = \int 3x^{1/2} \, dx

    • Using the power rule for integration: xndx=xn+1n+1\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} So, 3x1/2dx=3x3/23/2=2x3/2\int 3x^{1/2} \, dx = 3 \cdot \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} = 2x^{3/2}
  2. Second term: 10xxdx=10x3/2dx\int 10x\sqrt{x} \, dx = \int 10x^{3/2} \, dx

    • Again, using the power rule for integration: 10x3/2dx=10x5/25/2=4x5/2\int 10x^{3/2} \, dx = 10 \cdot \frac{x^{5/2}}{5/2} = 4x^{5/2}

Now, combining the two results: 04(3x+10xx)dx=[2x3/2+4x5/2]04\int_0^4 (3\sqrt{x} + 10x\sqrt{x}) \, dx = \left[ 2x^{3/2} + 4x^{5/2} \right]_0^4

We evaluate at the upper and lower limits:

  • At x=4x = 4: 2(43/2)+4(45/2)=2(8)+4(32)=16+128=1442(4^{3/2}) + 4(4^{5/2}) = 2(8) + 4(32) = 16 + 128 = 144

  • At x=0x = 0, both terms are zero.

Thus, the value of the integral is 144.

The correct answer is c. 144.
