How to Integrate the Cubed Root of X

The easiest way to deal with roots is to turn them into fraction powers. A square root will become a ½ power, a cubed root will become a 1/3 power and so on. There is a basic formula to follow when taking the integral of an expression with a power 1/(n+1) x^(n+1).

Instructions

    • 1

      Re-write the cubed root into a fraction power: x^(1/3).

    • 2

      Add one to the power: x^(4/3).

    • 3

      Multiply the expression by the reciprocal of the power. A reciprocal is simply a fraction flipped. For example the reciprocal of 4/3 is 3/4. Multiplying by 3/4 yields: 3/4 x^(4/3).
