Question: Evaluate the integral of the function, or determine if it diverges: $$\int_{1}^{11} \frac{d x}{(x-3)^{2 / 3}} $$ Answer: The evaluated integral is \(6 - 3(-2)^{1/3}\).

Step by step solution

01

Setting up the indefinite integral

First, we need to find the indefinite integral of the given function: $$\int \frac{d x}{(x-3)^{2 / 3}}$$
02

Use substitution

We can apply the substitution method. Let \(u = x - 3\). Therefore, \(d x = d u\). Now the integral becomes: $$\int \frac{d u}{u^{2 / 3}}$$
03

Rewrite the integral as a power function

Rewrite the integral using the power rule formula (i.e., \(\int x^n dx\)). To do this, we can write \(\frac{1}{u^{2/3}}\) as \(u^{-2/3}\). $$\int u^{- 2 / 3} d u$$
04

Apply the Power Rule

The power rule states that \(\int x^n dx = \frac{1}{n+1} x^{n+1} + C\). Apply the power rule to our integral: $$\frac{1}{(-2/3)+1} u^{(-2/3)+1} + C$$
05

Simplify the result

Simplify the expression: $$\frac{3}{1} u^{1/3} + C = 3u^{1/3} + C$$
06

Substitute x back in

Replace \(u\) with \(x - 3\) to obtain the result of the indefinite integral: $$3(x - 3)^{1/3} + C$$
07

Evaluate the definite integral

To evaluate the definite integral, simply substitute the limits of integration (1 and 11) into the indefinite integral and subtract the values: $$\int_{1}^{11} \frac{d x}{(x-3)^{2 / 3}} = \left[3(x - 3)^{1/3}\right]_{1}^{11} = 3(11 - 3)^{1/3} - 3 (1 - 3)^{1/3}$$
08

Simplify the result

Simplify the expression: $$3(8)^{1/3} - 3(-2)^{1/3} = 3 \cdot 2 - 3(-2)^{1/3} = 6 - 3(-2)^{1/3}$$ The evaluated integral is \(6 - 3(-2)^{1/3}\).
