Math Problem Statement

Calculate the integral of \( \frac{x^2 - \sqrt{x} + 10}{x} \, dx \).

Solution

Let's solve the given integral:

The integral is:

x2x+10xdx\int \frac{x^2 - \sqrt{x} + 10}{x} \, dx

Step 1: Simplify the expression

Split the fraction into separate terms: x2xxx+10x=xx1/2+10x1\frac{x^2}{x} - \frac{\sqrt{x}}{x} + \frac{10}{x} = x - x^{-1/2} + 10x^{-1}

So, the integral becomes: (xx1/2+10x1)dx\int \left( x - x^{-1/2} + 10x^{-1} \right) \, dx

Step 2: Integrate term by term

  1. For xdx\int x \, dx: x22\frac{x^2}{2}

  2. For x1/2dx\int x^{-1/2} \, dx: x1/21/2=2x1/2\frac{x^{1/2}}{1/2} = 2x^{1/2}

  3. For 10x1dx\int 10x^{-1} \, dx: 10lnx10 \ln|x|

Step 3: Combine results

The integral is: x222x1/2+10lnx+C\frac{x^2}{2} - 2x^{1/2} + 10 \ln|x| + C

Final Answer:

x2x+10xdx=x222x+10lnx+C\int \frac{x^2 - \sqrt{x} + 10}{x} \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2} - 2\sqrt{x} + 10 \ln|x| + C
