The answer is #=2(3sqrt3-1)=8.39#

We use

#intx^ndx=x^(n+1)/(n+1)+C# #(n!=-1)#

So,

#int_1^3 3sqrtxdx=3int_1^3x^(1/2)dx#

#=3 [x^(3/2) /(3/2) ] _1^3 #

#=2 [3^(3/2)-1] #

#=2(3sqrt3-1)#

#=8.39#

#int_1^3 3sqrt(x)dx = 2 (sqrt(27) -1)#

#int_1^3 3sqrt(x)dx = 3 int_1^3 x^(1/2)dx =3 [ x^(3/2)/(3/2)]_1^3 = 2 [ x^(3/2)]_1^3 = 2 (sqrt(27) -1)#
