Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral: ∫[0 to 4] (3√x + 10x√x) dx

Solution

The given problem is:

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

Let's solve it step by step.

Step 1: Simplify the integrand

We can rewrite the terms involving square roots:

  • x=x1/2\sqrt{x} = x^{1/2}
  • 10xx=10xx1/2=10x3/210x\sqrt{x} = 10x \cdot x^{1/2} = 10x^{3/2}

Thus, the integral becomes:

04(3x1/2+10x3/2)dx\int_0^4 \left(3x^{1/2} + 10x^{3/2}\right)dx

Step 2: Integrate each term

We now integrate the terms individually:

  • For 3x1/23x^{1/2}, the integral is 323x3/2=2x3/23 \cdot \frac{2}{3} x^{3/2} = 2x^{3/2}.
  • For 10x3/210x^{3/2}, the integral is 1025x5/2=4x5/210 \cdot \frac{2}{5} x^{5/2} = 4x^{5/2}.

Thus, the indefinite integral becomes:

2x3/2+4x5/22x^{3/2} + 4x^{5/2}

Step 3: Evaluate the definite integral

Now, we evaluate the definite integral from 0 to 4:

[2x3/2+4x5/2]04\left[ 2x^{3/2} + 4x^{5/2} \right]_0^4

At x=4x = 4:

  • 2(4)3/2=2(8)=162(4)^{3/2} = 2(8) = 16
  • 4(4)5/2=4(32)=1284(4)^{5/2} = 4(32) = 128

Thus, the value at x=4x = 4 is:

16+128=14416 + 128 = 144

At x=0x = 0:

Both terms vanish at x=0x = 0, since they contain powers of xx.

Thus, the definite integral is:

1440=144144 - 0 = 144

The correct answer is c. 144.
