To find the first derivative \( f^{\prime}(x) \) of the function \( f(x) = 4x - 5x^{5/6} \), we apply the power rule. The derivative of \( 4x \) is \( 4 \), and the derivative of \( -5x^{5/6} \) is \( -\frac{25}{6}x^{-1/6} \). Thus, the first derivative is: \[ f^{\prime}(x) = 4 - \frac{25}{6}x^{-1/6} \] For the second derivative, we differentiate \( f^{\prime}(x) \). The derivative of \( 4 \) is \( 0 \), and the derivative of \( -\frac{25}{6}x^{-1/6} \) is \(\frac{25}{36}x^{-7/6}\). Therefore, the second derivative is: \[ f^{\prime \prime}(x) = \frac{25}{36}x^{-7/6} \] Now you've got the first and second derivatives! You can visualize \( f(x) \), \( f^{\prime}(x) \), and \( f^{\prime \prime}(x) \) to check for points of increase/decrease and concavity. Happy graphing!
