Answer

$$F(x) = \frac{5}{49}x^{7/5}-40x^{1/5}+C$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$f(x) =7x^{2/5}+8x^{-4/5}$$ Then by using if $f(x)=x^{\alpha}\ \to\ \ F(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha+1}}{\alpha+1}+C$ \begin{align*} F(x) &=\frac{7x^{7/5}}{7/5}+\frac{8x^{1/5}}{1/5}+C\\ &= \frac{5}{49}x^{7/5}-40x^{1/5}+C \end{align*} To check \begin{align*} F'(x) &=7x^{2/5}+8x^{-4/5}\\ &=f(x) \end{align*}
