00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.994
Here is the problem: derivative of x to the power 1 over 3).

2
00:00:04.444 --> 00:00:09.123
Find the derivative of x to the power 1 over 3) with respect to x.

3
00:00:09.923 --> 00:00:16.494
Power rule: d by d x[x to the power n] equals n times x to the power n minus 1.

4
00:00:16.944 --> 00:00:18.569
Combine and simplify.

5
00:00:19.369 --> 00:00:24.849
So the answer is f prime of x equals x to the power -(2 over 3)) / 3.

6
00:00:25.299 --> 00:00:38.349
The derivative is built from the outside in: sums split into terms, constants factor out, products and quotients use their rules, and every composite function multiplies by the derivative of its inside (chain rule).

00:00:39.149 --> 00:00:45.790
Cross-checked numerically against an independent symbolic differentiator at 8 sample points, which checks out.
