OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to find the derivative.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/3(8-t^8)^-1/3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

It'd be helpful if you'd please label this. Do you mean f(x) = Cuberoot(8 - t^8)? Why the (-) sign in the exponent? That 1/3 does not adequately indicate that you're looking for the cube root. I'd suggest sticking to spelling out the word (Cuberoot) or drawing it (as you've already done).

OpenStudy (shamil98):

is this your question? \[\large \sqrt[3]{8-t^{8}} = (8-t^{8})^\frac{ 1 }{ 3}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (shamil98):

From there use the product and chain rule then :)

OpenStudy (shamil98):

the power* and chain rule*

OpenStudy (mathmale):

watermelon: You've got this partially correct, but have neglected to find the derivative of (8 - t^8) as required by the chain rule.
