integral from 1 to 8 of sqrt(1+x^{-2/3)}

\int_{1}^{8} 1 + x^{- \frac{2}{3}} d x

55 - 22

Decimal

8.35191 \dots

Solution steps

\int_{1}^{8} 1 + x^{- \frac{2}{3}} d x

Simplify

1 + x^{- \frac{2}{3}} : \frac{x ^{\frac{2}{3}} + 1}{x ^{\frac{2}{3}}}

= \int_{1}^{8} \frac{x ^{\frac{2}{3}} + 1}{x ^{\frac{2}{3}}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int_{2}^{5} \frac{3 u ^{\frac{1}{2}}}{2} d u

Take the constant out:

\int a \cdot f (x) d x = a \cdot \int f (x) d x

= \frac{3}{2} \cdot \int_{2}^{5} u^{\frac{1}{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{3}{2} [\frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}}]_{2}^{5}

Compute the boundaries:

\frac{10 5 - 4 2}{3}

= \frac{3}{2} \cdot \frac{10 5 - 4 2}{3}

Simplify

= 55 - 22
