Answer

$$G(t) =2t^{1/2}+\frac{2}{3}t^{3/2}+\frac{2}{5}t^{5/2} +C$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$g(t) =\frac{1+t+t^2}{\sqrt{t}}= t^{-1/2}+t^{1/2}+t^{3/2}$$ Then by using if $f(x)=x^{\alpha}\ \to\ \ F(x) = \frac{x^{\alpha+1}}{\alpha+1}+C$ \begin{align*} G(t) &= \frac{1}{1/2} t^{1/2}+\frac{1}{3/2}t^{3/2}+\frac{1}{5/2}t^{5/2}+C\\ &=2t^{1/2}+\frac{2}{3}t^{3/2}+\frac{2}{5}t^{5/2} +C \end{align*} To check \begin{align*} G'(t) &=t^{-1/2}+t^{1/2}+t^{3/2} +C \\ &=\frac{1+t+t^2}{\sqrt{t}}\\ &=g(t) \end{align*}
