int 1/(sqrt(x)-root3(x)) dx Use substitution and partial fractions to find the indefinite integral

int1/(sqrt(x)-root(3)(x))dx
Apply integral substitution:u=x^(1/6)
=>du=1/6x^(1/6-1)dx
du=1/6x^(-5/6)dx
du=1/(6x^(5/6))dx
6x^(5/6)du=dx
6(x^(1/6))^5du=dx
6u^5du=dx
int1/(sqrt(x)-root(3)(x))dx=int(6u^5)/(u^3-u^2)du
=int(6u^5)/(u^2(u-1))du
Take the constant out,
=6intu^3/(u-1)du
Integrand is an inproper rational function as degree of numerator is more than the degree of the denominator,
So let's carry out the division,
u^3/(u-1)=u^2+u+1+1/(u-1)
=6int(u^2+u+1+1/(u-1))du
Apply the sum rule,
=6(intu^2du+intudu+int1du+int1/(u-1)du)
Apply the power rule and the common integer:int1/xdx=ln|x|
=6(u^3/3+u^2/2+u+ln|u-1|)
Substitute back u=x^(1/6)
and add a constant C to the solution,
=6(1/3(x^(1/6))^3+1/2(x^(1/6))^2+x^(1/6)+ln|x^(1/6)-1|)+C
=2x^(1/2)+3x^(1/3)+6x^(1/6)+6ln|x^(1/6)-1|+C
=2sqrt(x)+3root(3)(x)+6root(6)(x)+6ln|root(6)(x)-1|+C

How does Bilbo show leadership and courage in The Hobbit?

In “Goodbye to All That,” Joan Didion writes that the “lesson” of her story is that “it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the fair.” What does she mean? How does the final section of the essay portray how she came to this understanding, her feelings about it, and the consequences of it?

Why does the poet say "all the men and women merely players"?
