Question F(X)=(4X^3/2) (2X^1/2-1)



My answere


F' (X) (4X^3/2)(2)+(2X^1/2-1)(4X^1/2)

Is my answer correct

That will depend, in part, on what, exactly, the "question" was. You have posted an (ambiguously-formatted) function, but have not included any actual question regarding that function. Your "answer" is the derivative, multiplied by another function, with another product of terms added on.

What was the actual original question? What is the relationship between the original question and (possibly) "[F'(X)][(4X<sup>3</sup>)/2][2] + [(2X<sup>1</sup>)/(2 - 1)][(4X<sup>1</sup>)/2]"?

Please reply with specifics. Thank you.

The original question was to find the derivative


f(x)=4x^3/2(2x^1/2-1)
 
Please use more parentheses to clarify intent. You can mix them up with various types. {}[]()
 
I am going to assume you mean:

\(\displaystyle \L\\4x^{\frac{3}{2}}(2x^{\frac{1}{2}}-1)\)

If so, don't dive right into the product rule(your attempt, regrettably, is incorrect). See if you can simplify first.

Multiply through, then differentiate.

\(\displaystyle \L\\8x^{2}-4x^{\frac{3}{2}}\)
 
Can some tell if I am on the right track.

f'(x) (4x^frac{3}{2}) (2) +(2x^frac{1}{2}-1)(4x^{1}{2}[/i][/u]

You have unmatched parentheses, no "equals" between the "f'(x)" and what is, I expect, meant to be the derivative, and not opening or closing tags around your coding. Unfortunately, this renders your meaning very unclear.

Please reply with clarification. Thank you.
