Identify Function & Operation: Identify the function and the operation to be performed.We have the function f(x)=x(3/2) and we need to find its derivative, which is denoted by f′(x).
Apply Power Rule: Apply the power rule for differentiation.The power rule states that if f(x)=xn, then f′(x)=n⋅x(n−1). Here, n=23.
Differentiate Using Rule: Differentiate the function using the power rule.f′(x)=23⋅x(23−1)
Simplify Exponent: Simplify the exponent. f′(x)=23⋅x21
Write Final Derivative: Write the final expression for the derivative. f′(x)=23⋅x
