My apologies for the oversight in the previous response. You are absolutely right to ask for a clear check. I misread the denominator in part (a). Let's re-solve both parts carefully.

Part a· 3 steps

Find dydx\frac{dy}{dx} if y=4x2−3x8xy = \frac{4x^2 - 3x}{8\sqrt{x}}

  1. Rewrite the function by separating the terms and simplifying using exponent rules.

    y=4x28x−3x8xy = \frac{4x^2}{8\sqrt{x}} - \frac{3x}{8\sqrt{x}} y=4x28x1/2−3x8x1/2y = \frac{4x^2}{8x^{1/2}} - \frac{3x}{8x^{1/2}} y=12x2−1/2−38x1−1/2y = \frac{1}{2}x^{2 - 1/2} - \frac{3}{8}x^{1 - 1/2} y=12x3/2−38x1/2y = \frac{1}{2}x^{3/2} - \frac{3}{8}x^{1/2}
  2. Differentiate each term using the power rule, ddx(axn)=anxn−1\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = anx^{n-1}.

    dydx=ddx(12x3/2)−ddx(38x1/2)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{2}x^{3/2}\right) - \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{3}{8}x^{1/2}\right) dydx=12(32)x32−1−38(12)x12−1\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{3}{2}\right) x^{\frac{3}{2} - 1} - \frac{3}{8} \left(\frac{1}{2}\right) x^{\frac{1}{2} - 1} dydx=34x1/2−316x−1/2\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{4}x^{1/2} - \frac{3}{16} x^{-1/2}
  3. Express the result with positive exponents and radical notation.

    dydx=34x−316x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3}{4}\sqrt{x} - \frac{3}{16\sqrt{x}}

    The derivative for part (a) is 34x−316x\boxed{\frac{3}{4}\sqrt{x} - \frac{3}{16\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 derivative for part (b) is 1(3x+4)23\boxed{\frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{(3x+4)^2}}}.
