$y = x^{0.35}$

Step 1

Differentiate both sides of the equation.

$\frac{d}{d x} (y) = \frac{d}{d x} (x^{0.35})$

Step 2

The derivative of $y$ with respect to $x$ is $y'$ .

$y'$

Step 3

Differentiate the right side of the equation.

Step 3.1

Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that $\frac{d}{d x} [x^{n}]$ is $n x^{n - 1}$ where $n = 0.35$ .

$0.35 x^{- 0.65}$

Step 3.2

Simplify.

Step 3.2.1

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

$0.35 \frac{1}{x^{0.65}}$

Step 3.2.2

Combine $0.35$ and $\frac{1}{x^{0.65}}$ .

$\frac{0.35}{x^{0.65}}$

Step 4

Reform the equation by setting the left side equal to the right side.

$y' = \frac{0.35}{x^{0.65}}$

Step 5

Replace $y'$ with $\frac{d y}{d x}$ .

$\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{0.35}{x^{0.65}}$
