Answer

$f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}+2x^{1/2}+\frac{7}{3}$

Work Step by Step

$f'(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x+1}{x^{1/2}}=x^{1/2}+x^{-1/2}$ Using the antiderivatives table, $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{x^{3/2}}{1/2+1}+\frac{x^{-1/2+1}}{-1/2+1}$ $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}+2x^{1/2}+C$ Given that $f(1)=5$, we find $C$: $5=\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}(1)+2(1)+C$ $C=5-2-\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$ $f(x)=\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}+2x^{1/2}+\frac{7}{3}$
