    integration

    given that  y^{\frac{1}{2}} = x^{\frac{1}{3}} +3

    a) show that  y = x^{\frac{2}{3}} + Ax^{\frac{1}{3}} + B where A and B are constants to be found .

    b) hence find  \int ydx

    b) hence find  \int y \, dx
    y = (x^{\frac{1}{3}} +3)^2

    y = x^{\frac{2}{3}} + 6x^{\frac{1}{3}} + 9

    now find ...

    \int x^{\frac{2}{3}} + 6x^{\frac{1}{3}} + 9 \, dx

    if you can't edit it, then just re-post your question (probably in this thread)
