Take the integral: integral (x^3-1)/(x^(3/2)-sqrt(x)) dx For the integrand (-1+x^3)/(-sqrt(x)+x^(3/2)), substitute u = sqrt(x) and du = 1/(2 sqrt(x)) dx:

= 2 integral (u (u^6-1))/(u^3-u) du For the integrand (u (-1+u^6))/(-u+u^3), cancel common terms in the numerator an d denominator: = 2 integral (u^4+u^2+1) du Integrate the sum term by term: = 2 integral u^4 du+2 integral u^2 du+2 integral 1 du The integral of u^2 is u^3/3: = 2 integral u^4 du+(2 u^3)/3+2 integral 1 du The integral of u^4 is u^5/5: = (2 u^5)/5+(2 u^3)/3+2 integral 1 du The integral of 1 is u: = (2 u^5)/5+(2 u^3)/3+2 u+constant Substitute back for u = sqrt(x): = (2 x^(5/2))/5+(2 x^(3/2))/3+2 sqrt(x)+constant Which is equal to: Answer: | | = 2/15 sqrt(x) (3 x^2+5 x+15)+constant
