$y = x^{0.6}$

Step 1

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 0.6$ .

$0.6 x^{- 0.4}$

Step 2

Simplify.

Step 2.1

Rewrite the expression using the negative exponent rule $b^{- n} = \frac{1}{b^{n}}$ .

$0.6 \frac{1}{x^{0.4}}$

Step 2.2

Combine $0.6$ and $\frac{1}{x^{0.4}}$ .

$\frac{0.6}{x^{0.4}}$
