Indefinite Integration of 1/(3√x^2): Solving for x

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the indefinite integration of the function 1/(3√x²). The correct transformation of the expression involves rewriting it as x^(-2/3). The integration process leads to the result of (x^(1/3))/(-2/3) after applying the power rule. The final answer is confirmed to be -3/2 * x^(1/3) + C, where C is the constant of integration.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic calculus concepts, specifically integration.
  • Familiarity with power rules in integration.
  • Knowledge of manipulating exponents and fractional powers.
  • Ability to work with constants in integration.
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the power rule for integration in calculus.
  • Learn about integrating functions with fractional exponents.
  • Explore techniques for solving indefinite integrals.
  • Practice problems involving integration of rational functions.
USEFUL FOR

Students studying calculus, particularly those focusing on integration techniques, and educators looking for examples of integrating functions with fractional exponents.

Homework Statement


1 / (3√x2 )


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


the overall power of x in denom becomes ( 1/2 * 2 * 1/3 = 1/3)
taking in num , it becomes (-1/3 + 1 = 2/3) so answer should be x2/3 / (2/3)
which is wrong , please help

[itex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^2}\,}=\frac{1}{x^{2/3}}=x^{-2/3}[/itex]

[itex]\displaystyle -\frac{2}{3}+1=\frac{1}{3}[/itex]
