Step by step solution of ∫ ∛xdx

We will solve ∫ ∛xdx in 7 easy steps. Let's get started

Step 1

From symbol dx we know that differential of variable x indicates that the variable of integration is x. Let’s rewrite integrand - function inside the integral without fraction- knowing that n root of s is equal to s rise to 1 divided by n. In our case s is equal to x and n is equal to 3.

step 1

Step 2

Then we may directly use formula, which says integral of s rise to n by ds is equal to s rise to n+1 divided by n+1. In our case s is equal to x and n is equal to one-third.

step 2

Step 3

Thus, we have x rise to one third plus 1 divided by one third plus 1. We must also add constant C belonging to the set of real numbers because our solution is not a single function but a whole class of functions.

step 3

Step 4

So let’s just add 1 and one third in power and leave it for now as x rise to one and one third. In denominator we want to have the result of addition of 1 and one third written down as improper fraction. Thus, we have one third plus one and now we change 1 into fraction of three thirds as we want to have mutual denominator 3. We can now add in numerator 1 to 3 and we have 4 in numerator and 3 in denominator.

step 4

Step 5

Let’s come back now to numerator of our main problem we are solving. We have left x rise to one and one third and it’s time to smooth it a little. We know that s rise to n multiplied by s rise to m equals s rise to n plus m. In our case s is equal to x, n is 1 and m is one third. Thus, we may write down our numerator as x rise to 1 multiplied by x rise to one third. So x rise to 1 usually we just write down as x and then we can modify a little x rise to one third. s rise to one n-th equals n-th root of s and in our case s is equal to x and n is 3, then we have cube root of x here.

step 5

Step 6

Now we have our numerator smoothed and I believe it will be good to go further with denominator. If we have s divided by some constants a divided by b, we may write it as b divided by a multiplied by our s. So in our case s is equal to our numerator of main solution that is x times cube root of x , a is 4 and b is 3.

step 6

Step 7

And we have three fourths multiplied by x cube root of x plus constant C.
