Question

How do you find the derivative of `x^(1/4)`?

Answer 1

`1/(4x^(3/4))`

Explanation:

We will use the power rule, which states that the derivative of some function in the form `x^n` is equal to `color(blue)(d/dxx^n=nx^(n-1)`.

So here, we see that `d/dxx^(1/4)=1/4x^(1/4-1)=1/4x^(-3/4)=1/(4x^(3/4))`.
