How do you find the derivative of #(4x +x^-5)^⅓#? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Power Rule 1 Answer Trevor Ryan. Feb 21, 2016 #d/dx(4x+x^-5)^(1/3)=1/3(4x+x^-5)^(-2/3)*(4-5x^-6)# Explanation: Use the power rule : #d/dx[u(x)]^n=n[u(x)]^(n-1)*(du)/dx# #therefore d/dx(4x+x^-5)^(1/3)=1/3(4x+x^-5)^(-2/3)*(4-5x^-6)# Answer link Related questions How do you find the derivative of a polynomial?
