20s+8/9s^(9/2)+C

Explanation:

We have

int(20+(4s^4)/sqrts)ds

Split this up since integrals can be separated through addition:

=int20ds+int(4s^4)/sqrtsds

The second integrand can be simplified as follows:

(4s^4)/sqrts=(4s^4)/s^(1/2)=4s^(4-1/2)=4s^(7/2)

So we have the integral

int20ds+4ints^(7/2)ds

The first integral is just 20s+C, and find the next integral using the rule ints^nds=s^(n+1)/(n+1)+C.

=20s+4(s^(7/2+1)/(7/2+1))+C

=20s+4(2/9)s^(9/2)+C

=20s+8/9s^(9/2)+C
