The problem asks to evaluate the integral:

\[
\int_0^1 x^{\frac{3}{2}} \left( 1 - x^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}} \, dx.
\]

Let's go through the steps to solve this integral:

### Step 1: Substitution
We notice that the term \( x^{\frac{1}{2}} \) appears inside the expression, which suggests using a substitution to simplify the integral.

Let:
\[
u = x^{\frac{1}{2}},
\]
so that:
\[
du = \frac{1}{2}x^{-\frac{1}{2}} dx \quad \text{or equivalently} \quad dx = 2u \, du.
\]

Also, since \( u = x^{\frac{1}{2}} \), when \( x = 0 \), \( u = 0 \), and when \( x = 1 \), \( u = 1 \).

Now substitute these into the integral:

\[
\int_0^1 x^{\frac{3}{2}} \left( 1 - x^{\frac{1}{2}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}} \, dx = \int_0^1 u^3 (1 - u)^{\frac{1}{2}} 2u \, du.
\]

### Step 2: Simplification
Simplifying the expression:
\[
= 2 \int_0^1 u^4 (1 - u)^{\frac{1}{2}} \, du.
\]

### Step 3: Beta Function Representation
This integral now has the form of a Beta function:
\[
\int_0^1 u^{m-1}(1 - u)^{n-1} \, du = B(m, n) = \frac{\Gamma(m)\Gamma(n)}{\Gamma(m + n)},
\]
where \( m = 5 \) and \( n = \frac{3}{2} \).

Thus, we can write the integral as:
\[
2 \cdot B(5, \frac{3}{2}) = 2 \cdot \frac{\Gamma(5)\Gamma\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)}{\Gamma\left(5 + \frac{3}{2}\right)}.
\]

### Step 4: Gamma Function Evaluation
We now need to evaluate the Gamma functions.

- \( \Gamma(5) = 4! = 24 \).
- \( \Gamma\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{\pi} \) (since \( \Gamma\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = \sqrt{\pi} \)).
- \( \Gamma\left(5 + \frac{3}{2}\right) = \Gamma\left(\frac{13}{2}\right) \).

Using the property \( \Gamma\left(n + \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{(2n)!}{4^n n!} \sqrt{\pi} \), we can calculate \( \Gamma\left(\frac{13}{2}\right) \).
