Final Answer: The integral of the function \(\sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\) with respect to \(x\) is \(\boxed{\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2} - 2\sqrt{x}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :Given the integral function \(\int\left(\sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right) dx\)

Step 2 :We can split this into two separate integrals: \(\int\sqrt{x} dx\) and \(-\int\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} dx\)

Step 3 :The integral of \(\sqrt{x}\) is \(\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\)

Step 4 :The integral of \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\) is \(2\sqrt{x}\)

Step 5 :So, the integral of the given function is \(\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2} - 2\sqrt{x}\)

Step 6 :Final Answer: The integral of the function \(\sqrt{x}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\) with respect to \(x\) is \(\boxed{\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2} - 2\sqrt{x}}\)
