First of all, according to what you have written, f(x) is a function in terms of t, not x, implying that f(x) is some constant and the derivative is 0 (If it was a function in terms of x and t it would be denoted f(x,t)). However we can let

f%28t%29+=+t%5E%282%2F3%29+%2B+2%28t%5E%283%2F2%29%29. Applying the power rule,
