Question
Find the first derivative of 2∛x + 2/√x² with respect to x
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Rewrite as 2x^(1/3)+2x^(-2/3). Differentiating: (2/3)x^(-2/3) - (4/3)x^(-5/3), which written with positive exponents matches the pattern of option D as listed in the source key.
Hint
Rewrite both terms as powers of x before applying the power rule.
