Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the indefinite integral \(\int \left( \frac{3\sqrt{x} + 2}{\sqrt{x}} \right) dx\).

Solution

The given problem asks to evaluate the indefinite integral:

(3x+2x)dx\int \left( \frac{3\sqrt{x} + 2}{\sqrt{x}} \right) dx

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Simplify the integrand: Break the integrand into two separate terms:

    3xx+2x=3+2x\frac{3\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}} + \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}} = 3 + \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}}

    Since 3xx=3\frac{3\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}} = 3 and 2x\frac{2}{\sqrt{x}} can be rewritten as 2x122x^{-\frac{1}{2}}, the expression simplifies to:

    3+2x123 + 2x^{-\frac{1}{2}}

  2. Integrate term by term: Now, we can integrate each term separately.

    • The integral of 33 is:

      3dx=3x\int 3 dx = 3x

    • The integral of 2x122x^{-\frac{1}{2}} is:

      2x12dx=2x1212=4x12\int 2x^{-\frac{1}{2}} dx = 2 \cdot \frac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}} = 4x^{\frac{1}{2}}

  3. Final answer: Combining both results:

    3x+4x+C3x + 4\sqrt{x} + C

    Since the problem specifies not to write the arbitrary constant CC, the final result is:

    3x+4x3x + 4\sqrt{x}
