u=cosecinverse (x^1/2 + y^1/2/ x^1/3 + y^1/3)^1/2

Find du/dx

Given the function \( u = \csc^{-1} \left( \frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}} \right)^{1/2} \), we want to find \(\frac{du}{dx}\).

Let's proceed step by step.

### Step 1: Simplify the Function
First, simplify the function:
\[
z = \left( \frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}} \right)^{1/2}
\]
So, the function becomes:
\[
u = \csc^{-1}(z)
\]

### Step 2: Differentiate \( u \) with respect to \( z \)
Using the chain rule, we first differentiate \( u \) with respect to \( z \):
\[
\frac{du}{dz} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{z^2 - 1}}
\]

### Step 3: Differentiate \( z \) with respect to \( x \)
Next, differentiate \( z \) with respect to \( x \):
\[
z = \left( \frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}} \right)^{1/2}
\]
Let:
\[
w = \frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}}
\]
So:
\[
z = w^{1/2}
\]

Then, using the chain rule:
\[
\frac{dz}{dx} = \frac{1}{2} w^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{dw}{dx}
\]

### Step 4: Differentiate \( w \) with respect to \( x \)
Now, let's differentiate \( w \) with respect to \( x \):
\[
w = \frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}}
\]
Using the quotient rule:
\[
\frac{dw}{dx} = \frac{(\frac{1}{2}x^{-1/2})(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}) - (\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y})(\frac{1}{3}x^{-2/3})}{(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y})^2}
\]

### Step 5: Combine Results
Now, combine all these steps to find \(\frac{du}{dx}\):
\[
\frac{du}{dx} = \frac{du}{dz} \cdot \frac{dz}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{z^2 - 1}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} w^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{dw}{dx}
\]

Substitute \( w \) and its derivative:
\[
\frac{du}{dx} = -\frac{1}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}}\right) - 1}} \cdot \frac{1}{2} \left(\frac{\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y}}{\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}}\right)^{-1/2} \cdot \frac{\frac{1}{2}x^{-1/2}(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y}) - (\sqrt{x} + \sqrt{y})\frac{1}{3}x^{-2/3}}{(\sqrt[3]{x} + \sqrt[3]{y})^2}
\]

This expression represents \(\frac{du}{dx}\). While complex, it encapsulates the differentiation of the given function with respect to \( x \).
