Question

The derivative of 3/t^3/5 - 6/t^1/2

Answer 1

Do you mean \[\frac{dy}{dx}(\frac{3}{t^{3/5}}-\frac{6}{t^{1/2}})\] ?

Answer 2

Yes

Answer 3

Ok, you must use two rules here:

\[1/x^n = x^{-n}\]

and

\[\frac{dy}{dx}x^k = kx^{k-1}\]

So re-write this as

\[\frac{dy}{dx}(3t^{-3/5}-6t^{-1/2})\]

Answer 4

Thanks!

Answer 5

You do know that what I wrote is not the final answer, right? You still have to differentiate according to those rules. :)
