Integration

Could you check the result for me please, as it differes from the book's?

Integrate:

[(4 - x^1/2)^2]/x^3/2

I got

-32/sqrtx - 8 lnx + sqrtx + C

The book's:
-32/sqrtx - 8 lnx + 2sqrtx + C

Thanks

=(1/0.5)x^0.5 whivh is 2x^(0.5)

Thanks everybody. I got it

x^-1/2, I integrated wrongly. Should be 2sqrtx
