SOLUTION: Differentiate: y = x^3 - 2x^2 / cubic root x^2 What I have done: y = x^3 - 2x^2 / x^2/3 dy/dx = x^2/3 (3x^2 - 4x) - (x^3 - 2x^2) (2/3x^-1/3) = 3x^8/3 - 4x^5/3 - 2/

Question 696809: Differentiate:
y = x^3 - 2x^2 / cubic root x^2
What I have done:
y = x^3 - 2x^2 / x^2/3
dy/dx
= x^2/3 (3x^2 - 4x) - (x^3 - 2x^2) (2/3x^-1/3)
= 3x^8/3 - 4x^5/3 - 2/3x^8/3 + 4/3x^-2/3 / x^4/3
= 7/3x - 4x^5/3 + 4/3x^-2/3 / x^4/3
= 7/3x^-1/3 - 4x^1/3 + 4/3x^-2
Is my answer correct? Please let me know within 2 days as I have exam and I am unable to visit my teachers / classmates for help. Thanks!

Change the cube root to a fraction exponent:



Change the denominator to a multiplication by a
negative exponential: 

 

Distribute by adding exponents:



Get LCD's of fraction exponents

 

Do the addition of the fraction exponents:



Now we can just use the basic power rule to
find the derivative:



You can either leave it like that or factor out  



Change the exponent  to 1 and the fractional exponential
to a cube root:



I'm sure you can skip some of those steps.  I just broke it down 
all the way just in case.
