Question

Factorise

Answer 1

\[\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }x ^{-\frac{ 1 }{ 3 }}-\frac{ 5 }{ 3 }x ^{\frac{ 2 }{ 3 }}\]

Answer 2

this is a derivative?

Answer 3

yeah lol how did you know

Answer 4

because you multiplied times some power that is a third

Answer 5

I mean the coefficients of the Xs and their powers.

Answer 6

detective, lol

Answer 7

you have (5/3)x^(-1/3) in both terms, but I don't see any purpose in factoring.

The only thing that my teacher required me to do, is to get rid of negative exponents.

Answer 8

I'm trying to do 1st derivative test to find the critical points. that's why I wanted to factorise it

Answer 9

ohh..
