$\int 5 x (\sqrt{x} - x^{2}) d x$

Step 1

Since $5$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $5$ out of the integral.

$5 \int x (\sqrt{x} - x^{2}) d x$

Step 2

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{x}$ as $x^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

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

Step 3.1

Apply the distributive property.

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

Step 3.2

Reorder $x$ and $- 1$ .

$5 \int x \cdot x^{\frac{1}{2}} - 1 \cdot x \cdot x^{2} d x$

Step 3.3

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$5 \int x^{1} x^{\frac{1}{2}} - 1 x \cdot x^{2} d x$

Step 3.4

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$5 \int x^{1 + \frac{1}{2}} - 1 x \cdot x^{2} d x$

Step 3.5

Write $1$ as a fraction with a common denominator.

$5 \int x^{\frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} - 1 x \cdot x^{2} d x$

Step 3.6

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$5 \int x^{\frac{2 + 1}{2}} - 1 x \cdot x^{2} d x$

Step 3.7

Add $2$ and $1$ .

$5 \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} - 1 x \cdot x^{2} d x$

Step 3.8

Factor out negative.

$5 \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} - (x \cdot x^{2}) d x$

Step 3.9

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$5 \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} - (x^{1} x^{2}) d x$

Step 3.10

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$5 \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} - x^{1 + 2} d x$

Step 3.11

Add $1$ and $2$ .

$5 \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} - x^{3} d x$

Step 3.12

Reorder $x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ and $- x^{3}$ .

$5 \int - x^{3} + x^{\frac{3}{2}} d x$

Step 4

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$5 (\int - x^{3} d x + \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} d x)$

Step 5

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 1$ out of the integral.

$5 (- \int x^{3} d x + \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} d x)$

Step 6

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{3}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{4} x^{4}$ .

$5 (- (\frac{1}{4} x^{4} + C) + \int x^{\frac{3}{2}} d x)$

Step 7

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{\frac{3}{2}}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{2}{5} x^{\frac{5}{2}}$ .

$5 (- (\frac{1}{4} x^{4} + C) + \frac{2}{5} x^{\frac{5}{2}} + C)$
