Apply Power Rule: To find the derivative of x32 with respect to x, we will use the power rule for differentiation. The power rule states that if f(x)=xn, then f′(x)=n⋅xn−1.
Calculate Derivative: Applying the power rule to x32, we get the derivative f′(x)=32⋅x(32−1).
Simplify Exponent: Subtracting 1 from the exponent (2/3) gives us (2/3)−3/3, which simplifies to −1/3. So, f′(x)=(2/3)⋅x−1/3.
Rewrite Expression: The expression x(−1/3) can be rewritten as 1/(x(1/3)). Therefore, the derivative f′(x)=(32)∗(x(1/3)1).
Final Simplified Form: The final simplified form of the derivative is f′(x)=32⋅(x311) or f′(x)=3x312.
