istim · Answer

Split the integral.

x/ sqrt(x)  -  1/sqrt(x) dx
simplify.

sqrt(x) -  x^(-1/2) dx

simple integration from there.

anonymous · Answer

how did it become sqrt of x

istim · Answer

Sorry, not "split the integral", split the equation. Splitting the integral is a different thing.

istim · Answer

sqrt(x) = x^(1/2)

anonymous · Answer

so we have x/sqrt(x)- 1/sqrtx

anonymous · Answer

and then how did you simplfy

anonymous · Answer

cross multiply?

anonymous · Answer

how is x/sqrt of x= sqrt of x, is what im really asking

istim · Answer

istim · Answer

so x^(1) / (x^(1/2)) = x^ ( 1 - 1/2) = x^(1/2) which is just.. sqrt(x)

anonymous · Answer

oh my, i get it now! thank you so mcuh

anonymous · Answer

Istime can i ask you another question?
