Given f'(x)=(3x+1)^(-1/5), what is f(x)?

We'll take the inverse operation and we'll integrate the given
function:


Int (3x+1)^(-1/5) dx =
f(x)


We'll replace the expression 3x + 1 by the variable
t.


3x + 1 = t


We'll differentiate both
sides:


3dx = dt


dx =
dt/3


We'll re-write the integral having as variable
t:


Int (3x+1)^(-1/5) dx = Int
t^(-1/5)*(dt/3)


We'll evaluate the
integral


Int t^(-1/5)*(dt/3) = (1/3)*t^(-1/5 + 1)/(-1/5 + 1) +
C


Int t^(-1/5)*(dt/3) = (1/3)*t^(4/5)/(4/5) +
C


Int t^(-1/5)*(dt/3) = 5*t^(4/5)/12 +
C


The requested function is f(x) = 5*(3x+1)^(4/5)/12 +
C
