SUMMARY
The indefinite integral of the function (4x^2 + 2√x + 1)/(2x√x) is calculated as ∫(4x^2 + 2√x + 1)/(2x√x) dx. The solution simplifies to 4/3√(x^3) + ln(x) - 1/√x + C. The process involves breaking down the integral into manageable parts, specifically integrating terms like 2∫x^(1/2) dx, ∫x^(-1) dx, and 1/2∫x^(-3/2) dx. Verification of the solution can be done by taking the derivative of the result.
