\(\begin{array}{l}
\text { Let } \mathrm{I}=\int \sqrt{\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}+1}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}=\frac{2}{3}\left(\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}\right)^{\mathrm{k}}+\mathrm{c} \\
\text { Put } \sqrt{\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}}=\mathrm{t} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}}}\left(1+\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}\right) \mathrm{dx}=\mathrm{dt} \\
\therefore\left(\frac{\mathrm{x}^{2}+1}{\mathrm{x}^{2}}\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}=2 \mathrm{t} \mathrm{dt} \\
\therefore \mathrm{I}=\int \mathrm{t}(2 \mathrm{t}) \mathrm{dt}=2 \int \mathrm{t}^{2} \mathrm{dt}=\frac{2 \mathrm{t}^{3}}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\left[\sqrt{\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}}\right]^{3} \\
=\frac{2}{3}\left[\left(\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right]^{3}=\frac{2}{3}\left[\mathrm{x}-\frac{1}{\mathrm{x}}\right]^{\frac{3}{2}} \Rightarrow \mathrm{k}=\frac{3}{2}
