A(x)=3ln|root(3)x+1|+"c"

Explanation:

int 1/(x^(2/3)(1+x^(1/3)) dx

=3int x^(-2/3)/(3(1+x^(1/3)) dx

We now have the integrand in the form (f'(x))/f(x). Using the reverse chain rule, we know that the integrals of these forms are ln|f(x)|+"c".

therefore int 1/(x^(2/3)(1+x^(1/3)) dx=3ln|root(3)x+1|+"c"
