Answer

(a)$\frac{df}{dx}= 4 x^{ -\frac{3}{4}}$ $\int \frac{df}{dx}dx= 16{x^{\frac{1}{4}}}=16\sqrt[4] x+C$

Work Step by Step

(a)$f(x)= 16 \sqrt[4] x$ $\frac{df}{dx}=\frac{d(16 \sqrt[4] x)}{dx}$ $\frac{df}{dx}=16\frac{d( \sqrt[4] x)}{dx}$ $\frac{df}{dx}=16\frac{d(x^{\frac{1}{4}})}{dx}$ $\frac{df}{dx}= 16(\frac{1}{4}) x^{ \frac{1}{4}-1}$ $\frac{df}{dx}= 4 x^{ -\frac{3}{4}}$ (b) $\int \frac{df}{dx}dx= \int4x^{-\frac{3}{4}}dx$ $\int \frac{df}{dx}dx= 4 \int x^{-\frac{3}{4}}dx$ $\int \frac{df}{dx}dx= 4 ( \frac{x^{-\frac{3}{4}+1}}{-\frac{3}{4}+1})+C$ $\int \frac{df}{dx}dx= 4 ( \frac{x^{ \frac{1}{}}}{\frac{1}{4}})+C$ $\int \frac{df}{dx}dx= 16{x^{\frac{1}{4}}}=16\sqrt[4] x+C$
