int6sqrt(x)dx = 4x^(3/2)+C6xdx=4x32+C

Explanation:

In general, we have intx^kdx = x^(k+1)/(k+1)+Cxkdx=xk+1k+1+C for k!=-1k1. Putting that together with intkf(x)dx = kintf(x)dxkf(x)dx=kf(x)dx we have:

int6sqrt(x)dx = 6intx^(1/2)dx = 6x^(3/2)/(3/2)+C = 4x^(3/2)+C6xdx=6x12dx=6x3232+C=4x32+C

4x^(3/2)+C4x32+C

Explanation:

We want to find

int6sqrtxdx6xdx

Which, since 66 is a multiplicative constant, equals

=6intsqrtxdx=6xdx

Write sqrtxx using fractional exponents:

=6intx^(1/2)dx=6x12dx

Now, integrate using the rule:

intx^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C" "" "," "" "n!=-1xndx=xn+1n+1+C , n1

Giving:

=6(x^(1/2+1)/(1/2+1))+C=(6x^(3/2))/(3/2)+C=2/3(6x^(3/2))+C=6(x12+112+1)+C=6x3232+C=23(6x32)+C

=4x^(3/2)+C=4x32+C
