Question 185259: Differentiate (find the derivative) of the function 2/(√x) + x/(√3) + 6(3√x <-- cube root over x), the answer should be 1/(√3) - 1/√(x^3) - 2/(3√x^2) <-- cube root over x^2). Please show your steps. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
We can take the derivitive of each term of your function and just add them. First thing to do is put your functions in terms of fractional exponents using the rules:
and
Now take the derivitive using the Power Rule:
Look at the next term:
And then the last term:
Then put it all back together:
However, I would rationalize all the denominators:
