First derivative: \( f'(x) = 4 - \frac{25}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}} \) Second derivative: \( f''(x) = \frac{25}{36}x^{-\frac{7}{6}} \)

\[ \textbf{Step 1. Differentiate } f(x)=4x-5x^{\frac{5}{6}}. \] \[ f'(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(4x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(5x^{\frac{5}{6}}\right)=4-5\cdot\frac{5}{6}x^{\frac{5}{6}-1}. \] \[ \text{Since } \frac{5}{6}-1=-\frac{1}{6}, \quad f'(x)=4-\frac{25}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}}. \] \[ \textbf{Step 2. Differentiate } f'(x)=4-\frac{25}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}}. \] \[ f''(x)=\frac{d}{dx}\left(4\right)-\frac{25}{6}\cdot\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^{-\frac{1}{6}}\right)=0-\frac{25}{6}\cdot\left(-\frac{1}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}-1}\right). \] \[ f''(x)=\frac{25}{36}x^{-\frac{7}{6}}. \] \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} f'(x)&=4-\frac{25}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}},\\[1mm] f''(x)&=\frac{25}{36}x^{-\frac{7}{6}}. \end{aligned} } \] \[ \textbf{Checking the results:} \] - \(\mathbf{f(x)=4x-5x^{\frac{5}{6}}}\) shows a linear term and a fractional power term. For large \(x\), the linear term \(4x\) dominates so \(f(x)\) increases roughly linearly. - \(\mathbf{f'(x)=4-\frac{25}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}}}\) is negative for very small \(x\) (since \(x^{-\frac{1}{6}}\) becomes very large), but as \(x\) increases, the term \(\frac{25}{6}x^{-\frac{1}{6}}\) decreases and \(f'(x)\) tends to \(4\). Thus, its graph transitions from steeply negative to approaching the value \(4\). - \(\mathbf{f''(x)=\frac{25}{36}x^{-\frac{7}{6}}}\) is positive for \(x>0\) indicating that \(f'(x)\) is increasing and the graph of \(f(x)\) is concave upward for \(x>0\). These observations are consistent with the behavior of the graphs of \(f\), \(f'\), and \(f''\).

Beyond the Answer

To find the first and second derivatives of the function \( f(x) = 4x - 5x^{5/6} \), we can use differentiation rules. First, we compute the first derivative \( f'(x) \): \[ f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(4x) - \frac{d}{dx}(5x^{5/6}) = 4 - 5 \cdot \frac{5}{6} x^{5/6 - 1} \] \[ f'(x) = 4 - \frac{25}{6}x^{-1/6} \] Next, we compute the second derivative \( f''(x) \): \[ f''(x) = \frac{d}{dx}\left(4 - \frac{25}{6}x^{-1/6}\right) = 0 + \frac{25}{6} \cdot \frac{1}{6} x^{-1/6 - 1} \] \[ f''(x) = \frac{25}{36}x^{-7/6} \] So the final results are: \[ f'(x) = 4 - \frac{25}{6}x^{-1/6} \] \[ f''(x) = \frac{25}{36}x^{-7/6} \] Now, to check if these derivatives make sense, you can graph \( f(x) \), \( f'(x) \), and \( f''(x) \) using graphing software or online graphing tools. You should note that the first derivative \( f'(x) \) generally indicates the slope of \( f(x) \), where positive values suggest rising and negative values suggest falling, while \( f''(x) \) gives insight into the concavity of the curve—whether it’s curving upwards or downwards!
