Math Problem Statement

Turunan dari f(x) = (2/3)x^(-3) - (1/2)x^(-4) + 2x - (1/3)

Solution

Let's differentiate the given function:

f(x)=23x312x4+2x13f(x) = \frac{2}{3}x^{-3} - \frac{1}{2}x^{-4} + 2x - \frac{1}{3}

Using the power rule, ddxxn=nxn1\frac{d}{dx} x^n = n x^{n-1}, let's differentiate each term:

  1. ddx(23x3)=23(3)x4=2x4\frac{d}{dx} \left(\frac{2}{3}x^{-3}\right) = \frac{2}{3} \cdot (-3)x^{-4} = -2x^{-4}
  2. ddx(12x4)=12(4)x5=2x5\frac{d}{dx} \left(-\frac{1}{2}x^{-4}\right) = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot (-4)x^{-5} = 2x^{-5}
  3. ddx(2x)=2\frac{d}{dx} (2x) = 2
  4. The derivative of a constant, ddx(13)\frac{d}{dx} \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right), is 0.

So, the derivative is:

f(x)=2x4+2x5+2f'(x) = -2x^{-4} + 2x^{-5} + 2

Now, comparing this result with the given options, we can see that the correct answer is:

(e) f(x)=23x412x5+2\boxed{\text{(e)} \ f'(x) = -\frac{2}{3}x^{-4} - \frac{1}{2}x^{-5} + 2}
