$\int \frac{12}{\sqrt{x}} + 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 1

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\int \frac{12}{\sqrt{x}} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 2

Since $12$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $12$ out of the integral.

$12 \int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 3

Step 3.1

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

$12 \int \frac{1}{x^{\frac{1}{2}}} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 3.2

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

$12 \int {(x^{\frac{1}{2}})}^{- 1} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 3.3.1

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

$12 \int x^{\frac{1}{2} \cdot - 1} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 3.3.2

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

$12 \int x^{\frac{- 1}{2}} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 3.3.3

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$12 \int x^{- \frac{1}{2}} d x + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 4

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

$12 (2 x^{\frac{1}{2}} + C) + \int 12 \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 5

Since $12$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $12$ out of the integral.

$12 (2 x^{\frac{1}{2}} + C) + 12 \int \sqrt{x} d x$

Step 6

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

$12 (2 x^{\frac{1}{2}} + C) + 12 \int x^{\frac{1}{2}} d x$

Step 7

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

$12 (2 x^{\frac{1}{2}} + C) + 12 (\frac{2}{3} x^{\frac{3}{2}} + C)$
