=5/(6root(6)x)

Explanation:

f(x)=root(6)(x^5)=x^(5/6)
d/dx f(x)=5/6x^(5/6-1)
=5/6x^(-1/6)
=5/(6root(6)x)

Derivative of root(6)x^5 is 5/(6root(6)x)

Explanation:

The derivative of x^n is nx^(n-1)

As we can write root(6)x^5=x^(5/6)

d/(dx)root(6)x^5=5/6x^(5/6-1)

= 5/6x^(-1/6)

= 5/6*1/root(6)x

= 5/(6root(6)x)
