$\frac{1}{\sqrt{X^{3}}}$

Step 1

Write $\frac{1}{\sqrt{X^{3}}}$ as a function.

$f (X) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{X^{3}}}$

Step 2

The function $F (X)$ can be found by finding the indefinite integral of the derivative $f (X)$ .

$F (X) = \int f (X) d X$

Step 3

Set up the integral to solve.

$F (X) = \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{X^{3}}} d X$

Step 4

Apply basic rules of exponents.

Step 4.1

Use $\sqrt[n]{a^{x}} = a^{\frac{x}{n}}$ to rewrite $\sqrt{X^{3}}$ as $X^{\frac{3}{2}}$ .

$\int \frac{1}{X^{\frac{3}{2}}} d X$

Step 4.2

Move $X^{\frac{3}{2}}$ out of the denominator by raising it to the $- 1$ power.

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

Step 4.3

Multiply the exponents in ${(X^{\frac{3}{2}})}^{- 1}$ .

Step 4.3.2.1

Combine $\frac{3}{2}$ and $- 1$ .

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

Step 4.3.2.2

Multiply $3$ by $- 1$ .

$\int X^{\frac{- 3}{2}} d X$

Step 4.3.3

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$\int X^{- \frac{3}{2}} d X$

Step 5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $X^{- \frac{3}{2}}$ with respect to $X$ is $- 2 X^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ .

$- 2 X^{- \frac{1}{2}} + C$
