How do you differentiate y = 2 / [3sqrt(x^2 - 5x)] ? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Sihan Tawsik Jan 30, 2016 (4x-10)/(3sqrt((x^2-5x)^3)) Explanation: Here, y=2/(3sqrt(x^2-5x)) so, (dy)/(dx) =d/(dx)(2/(3sqrt(x^2-5x))) =2/3d/(dx)(1/(sqrt(x^2-5x))) =2/3*1/((x^2-5x)^(3/2))d/(dx)(x^2-5x) =2/3*1/((x^2-5x)^(3/2))(2x-5) =(4x-10)/(3sqrt((x^2-5x)^3)) Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
