Answer

$$ f(x) =Cx+\frac{9}{4}x^{\frac{4}{3}}+\frac{9}{40}x^{\frac{8}{3}}+D $$ where $C,D$ are arbitrary constants .

Work Step by Step

$$ f^{\prime \prime}(x)= x^{\frac{2}{3}}+ x^{-\frac{2}{3}} $$ The general anti-derivative of $ f^{\prime \prime}(x)= x^{\frac{2}{3}}+ x^{-\frac{2}{3}} $ is $$ f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{3}{5}x^{\frac{5}{3}}+3x^{\frac{1}{3}}+C $$ Using the anti-differentiation rules once more, we find that $$ f(x) =Cx+\frac{9}{4}x^{\frac{4}{3}}+\frac{9}{40}x^{\frac{8}{3}}+D $$ where $C,D$ are arbitrary constants .
