integral of (2x-5)^{1/2}

\int (2 x - 5)^{\frac{1}{2}} d x

\frac{1}{3} (2 x - 5)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C

Solution steps

\int (2 x - 5)^{\frac{1}{2}} d x

Apply u-substitution

= \int \frac{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{1}{2} \cdot \int u^{\frac{1}{2}} d u

Apply the Power Rule

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} u^{\frac{3}{2}}

Substitute back

u = 2 x - 5

= \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} (2 x - 5)^{\frac{3}{2}}

Simplify

\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} (2 x - 5)^{\frac{3}{2}} : \frac{1}{3} (2 x - 5)^{\frac{3}{2}}

= \frac{1}{3} (2 x - 5)^{\frac{3}{2}}

Add a constant to the solution

= \frac{1}{3} (2 x - 5)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C
