Learn how to solve definite integrals problems step by step online. Integrate the function 1/(x^(1/2)) from 1 to 4. Rewrite the exponent using the power rule \frac{a^m}{a^n}=a^{m-n}, where in this case m=0. Multiply the fraction and term in - \frac{1}{2}. Apply the power rule for integration, \displaystyle\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}, where n represents a number or constant function, such as -\frac{1}{2}. Divide fractions \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\frac{1}{2}} with Keep, Change, Flip: a\div \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a}{1}\div\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a}{1}\times\frac{c}{b}=\frac{a\cdot c}{b}.

Final answer to the problem
