let's find the derivatives for both functions.

Part a· 3 steps

Find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} if y=4x2−3xxy = \frac{4x^2 - 3x}{\sqrt{x}}

  1. Rewrite the function by simplifying the terms.

    y=4x2x−3xxy = \frac{4x^2}{\sqrt{x}} - \frac{3x}{\sqrt{x}} y=4x2−1/2−3x1−1/2y = 4x^{2 - 1/2} - 3x^{1 - 1/2} y=4x3/2−3x1/2y = 4x^{3/2} - 3x^{1/2}
  2. Differentiate each term using the power rule, ddx(axn)=anxn−1\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = anx^{n-1}.

    dydx=ddx(4x3/2)−ddx(3x1/2)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(4x^{3/2}) - \frac{d}{dx}(3x^{1/2}) dydx=4(32)x32−1−3(12)x12−1\frac{dy}{dx} = 4 \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) x^{\frac{3}{2} - 1} - 3 \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} dydx=6x1/2−32x−1/2\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x^{1/2} - \frac{3}{2} x^{-1/2}
  3. Express the result with positive exponents and radical notation.

    dydx=6x−32x\frac{dy}{dx} = 6\sqrt{x} - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{x}}

    The net force on q1q_1 is 6x−32x\boxed{6\sqrt{x} - \frac{3}{2\sqrt{x}}}.

Part b

1(3x+4)23\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{(3x+4)^2}}

Find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} if y=3x+43y = \sqrt[3]{3x+4}

  1. Rewrite the function using fractional exponents.

    y=(3x+4)1/3y = (3x+4)^{1/3}
  2. Differentiate using the chain rule, ddx(un)=nun−1dudx\frac{d}{dx}(u^n) = nu^{n-1} \frac{du}{dx}.

    Here, u=3x+4u = 3x+4 and n=13n = \frac{1}{3}.

    dydx=13(3x+4)13−1⋅ddx(3x+4)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{3} (3x+4)^{\frac{1}{3} - 1} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(3x+4) dydx=13(3x+4)−2/3⋅3\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{3} (3x+4)^{-2/3} \cdot 3
  3. Simplify the expression.

    dydx=(3x+4)−2/3\frac{dy}{dx} = (3x+4)^{-2/3}
  4. Express the result with positive exponents and radical notation.

    dydx=1(3x+4)2/3\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{(3x+4)^{2/3}} dydx=1(3x+4)23\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{(3x+4)^2}}

    The net force on q2q_2 is 1(3x+4)23\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{(3x+4)^2}}}.
