Step 1: Recognize that the integral ∫ dx / (x^(1/2) + x^(3/2)) involves fractional exponents. Rewrite the denominator in terms of a common factor to simplify the expression. Factor out x^(1/2) from the denominator: x^(1/2) + x^(3/2) = x^(1/2)(1 + x).
Step 2: Substitute the simplified denominator into the integral. The integral becomes ∫ dx / (x^(1/2)(1 + x)).
Step 3: Perform a substitution to simplify the integral further. Let u = 1 + x, which implies du = dx. Also, note that x = u - 1, and x^(1/2) = (u - 1)^(1/2). Rewrite the integral in terms of u.
Step 4: After substitution, the integral becomes ∫ du / ((u - 1)^(1/2) * u). Break this into manageable parts or consider partial fraction decomposition if applicable.
Step 5: Solve the resulting integral step by step, applying appropriate integration techniques such as substitution, partial fractions, or standard integral formulas. Combine the results and simplify.
