Find y prime if y=(x^2+3x-5)(cube root(x)-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would probably start by rewriting it (x^2+3x-5)(x-1)^(1/3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay should i do the chain rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did product rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u got it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got |dw:1350267174267:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont think thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was the original problem (cuberoot(x)) - 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only the x is under the cube root?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only the x under the cube root that where I get stuck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i did it \[\sqrt[3]{x-1}\] so you might be right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just couldnt decide whether or not to do the chain rule and what to do with the (-1) if I do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well this is a product rule (x^2+3x-5) d/dx(cube root(x)-1) + (cube root(x)-1) d/dx(x^2+3x-5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= (x^2+3x-5) 1/3 x^-2/3 + (x^1/3 - 1) (2x+3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just algebra and reducing after this point

Okay thank you!
