To evaluate using L'Hôpital's rule:
Step 1: Check the form of the limit. As , both the numerator and the denominator approach . This is an indeterminate form , so L'Hôpital's rule can be applied.
Step 2: Differentiate the numerator and the denominator.
Step 3: Apply L'Hôpital's rule.
Again, as , this is an indeterminate form . Apply L'Hôpital's rule again.
Step 4: Differentiate the new numerator and denominator.
Step 5: Apply L'Hôpital's rule a second time.
Step 6: Evaluate the limit.
As , , so .The final answer is .

Part a· 6 steps
Rewrite the function using exponents.
$$ y = \frac{(1+3x)^{2/3}}{x} $$Apply the quotient rule, .
Let $u = (1+3x)^{2/3}$ and $v = x$.Find using the chain rule.
$$ u' = \frac{2}{3}(1+3x)^{(2/3)-1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(1+3x) $$ $$ u' = \frac{2}{3}(1+3x)^{-1/3} \cdot 3 $$ $$ u' = 2(1+3x)^{-1/3} $$Find .
$$ v' = \frac{d}{dx}(x) = 1 $$Substitute $u, v, u', v'$ into the quotient rule formula.
$$ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2(1+3x)^{-1/3} \cdot x - (1+3x)^{2/3} \cdot 1}{x^2} $$Simplify the expression.
Factor out from the numerator. The final answer is .
Part b
Apply the chain rule.
The derivative of is .
Let .Find .
$$ u' = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right) = \frac{3}{4} \cdot 2x = \frac{3}{2}x $$Substitute and into the chain rule formula.
$$ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\csc\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right)\cot\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right) \cdot \left(\frac{3}{2}x\right) $$Rearrange the terms.
$$ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{3}{2}x \csc\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right)\cot\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right) $$ The final answer is $\boxed{-\frac{3}{2}x \csc\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right)\cot\left(\frac{3}{4}x^2\right)}$.
Part c
Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to .
Remember to use implicit differentiation for terms involving .
Differentiate using the product rule.
$$ \frac{d}{dx}(x^2y) = \frac{d}{dx}(x^2) \cdot y + x^2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(y) = 2xy + x^2\frac{dy}{dx} $$Differentiate using the chain rule.
$$ \frac{d}{dx}(y^2) = 2y\frac{dy}{dx} $$Differentiate $4x$.
$$ \frac{d}{dx}(4x) = 4 $$Differentiate the constant 1.
$$ \frac{d}{dx}(1) = 0 $$Combine the differentiated terms.
$$ 2xy + x^2\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} + 4 = 0 $$Isolate terms containing on one side.
$$ x^2\frac{dy}{dx} + 2y\frac{dy}{dx} = -2xy - 4 $$Factor out .
$$ \frac{dy}{dx}(x^2 + 2y) = -2xy - 4 $$Solve for .
$$ \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-2xy - 4}{x^2 + 2y} $$ $$ \frac{dy}{dx} = -\frac{2(xy + 2)}{x^2 + 2y} $$ The final answer is $\boxed{-\frac{2(xy + 2)}{x^2 + 2y}}$.
