Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the integral. (Remember the constant of integration.) 4 square root x

dx

write the 4 on the left tip of the v in the square root

Solution

It seems like you're asking to evaluate the following integral:

4xdx\int 4 \sqrt{x} \, dx

Let's solve this step by step.

Step 1: Express x\sqrt{x} as x1/2x^{1/2}

We rewrite the integral as:

4x1/2dx\int 4 x^{1/2} \, dx

Step 2: Apply the power rule for integration

The power rule of integration states that:

xndx=xn+1n+1+C\int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C

where n1n \neq -1.

In our case, n=12n = \frac{1}{2}, so we apply the power rule:

4x1/2dx=4x(1/2)+1(1/2)+1+C\int 4 x^{1/2} \, dx = 4 \cdot \frac{x^{(1/2) + 1}}{(1/2) + 1} + C

Simplifying the exponent and the denominator:

=4x3/23/2+C= 4 \cdot \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} + C

Step 3: Simplify the expression

Now, simplify the constant term:

423=834 \cdot \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}

So, the integral becomes:

83x3/2+C\frac{8}{3} x^{3/2} + C

Final Answer:

4xdx=83x3/2+C\int 4 \sqrt{x} \, dx = \frac{8}{3} x^{3/2} + C

  1. How do you handle integrals with square roots or fractional powers?
  2. What happens if the exponent is negative in a similar integral?
  3. How would you solve a definite integral with limits for this problem?
  4. Can you integrate other functions like xndx\int x^n \, dx when nn is a fraction or negative?
  5. What are the steps for solving an integral involving a constant multiple, like 5xdx\int 5 \sqrt{x} \, dx?

Tip: Always remember to apply the power rule for integration, and when dealing with fractional exponents, treat them just like any other exponent for ease.
