$dy/dx = (5x^(2/3) + 10x^(-5/6) + 2x^(-4/3))/3$

The simplest way is to put the function into exponential notation, foil them and then derivate

$y = (x^2 - 5x + 2)/root(3)(x)$

$y = (x^2 - 5x + 2)*(x^(-1/3))$

$y = x^(2-1/3) - 5x^(1-1/3) + 2x^(-1/3)$

$y = x^(5/3) - 5x^(-2/3) + 2x^(-1/3)$

$dy/dx = (5x^(2/3))/3 -(5*(-2)*x^(-5/6))/3 + (2x^(-4/3))/3$

$dy/dx = (5x^(2/3) + 10x^(-5/6) + 2x^(-4/3))/3$
