Hi, I'm trying to integrate the expression shown. Just wondering how I could get the same exact result? or what am I doing wrong? any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
syms x f(x)
L = 1;
f(x) = 5*(x.^0.33);
h = (1/L)*int(f(x), x, 0, L)

Even disregarding the sign error in the exponent (as correctly pointed out in the answer), 0.33 is not equal to 1/3.

The power to x was incorrect
syms f(x)
L = 1;
f(x) = 5*(x.^(-1/3));
h = (1/L)*int(f(x), 0, L)
