$\int \frac{x + 1}{\sqrt{x}} d x$

Step 1

This integral could not be completed using u-substitution. Mathway will use another method.

Step 2

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

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

Step 3

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

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

Step 4

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

Step 4.1

Apply the power rule and multiply exponents, ${(a^{m})}^{n} = a^{m n}$ .

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

Step 4.2

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

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

Step 4.3

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

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

Step 5

Expand $(x + 1) x^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ .

Step 5.1

Apply the distributive property.

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

Step 5.2

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

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

Step 5.3

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

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

Step 5.4

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

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

Step 5.5

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

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

Step 5.6

Subtract $1$ from $2$ .

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

Step 5.7

Multiply $x^{- \frac{1}{2}}$ by $1$ .

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

Step 6

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

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

Step 7

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

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

Step 8

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

$\frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} + C + 2 x^{\frac{1}{2}} + C$

Step 9

Simplify.

$\frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} + 2 x^{\frac{1}{2}} + C$
