Evaluate the Definate Integral

Sorry, that's incorrect.

Perhaps try it this way. Breaking it up into easier integrations.

\(\displaystyle \int_{1}^{7}\frac{8x^{2}+10}{\sqrt{x}}dx=8\int_{1}^{7}x^{\frac{3}{2}}dx+10\int_{1}^{7}x^{\frac{-1}{2}}dx\)

Another way would be to make the sub \(\displaystyle x=u^{2}, \;\ dx=2udu\)

This results in an easy integration. Don't forget to change the integration limits, though.
 
Just reworked the problem using your steps and got 22512/sqrt(7)-144 and it is still incorrect. Don't know where I'm going wrong
 
\(\displaystyle \int_{1}^{7}\frac{8x^{2}+10}{\sqrt{x}}dx\)

Let \(\displaystyle x=u^{2}, \;\ dx=2udu\)

This changes the integration limits to \(\displaystyle 1 \;\ and \;\ \sqrt{7}\)

\(\displaystyle \int_{1}^{\sqrt{7}}\frac{8u^{4}+10}{u}\cdot 2udu\)

\(\displaystyle =\int_{1}^{\sqrt{7}}\left(4(4u^{4}+5)\right)du\)

\(\displaystyle =\left \frac{4u(4u^{4}+25)}{5}}\right|_{1}^{\sqrt{7}}=\frac{4(221\sqrt{7}-29)}{5}\approx 444.569\)
 
or the otherway:

\(\displaystyle \int_{1}^{7}\frac{8x^{2}+10}{\sqrt{x}}dx=8\int_{1}^{7}x^{\frac{3}{2}}dx+10\int_{1}^{7}x^{\frac{-1}{2}}dx \ = \ 8*\frac{2}{5} \left [x^{\frac{5}{2}}\right ] \right|_1^7 \ + 10*2\left [x^{\frac{1}{2}}\right ] \right|_1^7 \ = \ \frac{16}{5}*[49\sqrt{7} -1] \ + \ 20*[\sqrt{7}-1]\)

and simplify......

The last few characters of your line did not get shown because of the margin
cutting it off, so I sent it down away from the right margin so it can be seen.
