derivative of x^(1/3), and apply the power rule
OpenStudy (anonymous):
as in \[\sqrt[3]{x}\]
OpenStudy (amistre64):
radicals are fractional exponents
OpenStudy (anonymous):
First understand that the cube root of a number is the same as that number raised to 1/3. This makes it easy. Multiply by 1/3 and subtract 1 from 1/3 for the new exponent. So you'd get 1/3x^-2/3
OpenStudy (amistre64):
unless your asking for the limit definition of a derivative

as in \[\sqrt[3]{x}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok and rewritten, would that be \[1\div(3\sqrt[3]{x ^{2}})\]?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well actually x shouldn't be in the denominator I don't think.
