Derivative Rational
1. **State the problem:** Differentiate the curve given by
$$y = \frac{(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{x+4}$$
and express the derivative \(\frac{dy}{dx}\) in the form
$$\frac{Ax^2 + Bx + C}{(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{2}{3}} (x+4)^2}$$
where \(A\), \(B\), and \(C\) are integers.
2. **Rewrite y:**
$$y = (3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}} (x+4)^{-1}$$
so that the product and chain rule can be applied easily.
3. **Differentiate y using the product rule:**
Let
$$u = (3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}, \quad v = (x+4)^{-1}$$
Then,
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = u'v + uv'$$
4. **Compute \(u'\):**
By the chain rule,
$$u' = \frac{1}{3}(3x^2 - 5)^{-\frac{2}{3}} \cdot (6x) = 2x (3x^2 - 5)^{-\frac{2}{3}}$$
5. **Compute \(v'\):**
$$v' = -1 (x+4)^{-2} = - (x+4)^{-2}$$
6. **Substitute back:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x (3x^2 - 5)^{-\frac{2}{3}} (x+4)^{-1} - (3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}} (x+4)^{-2}$$
7. **Find common denominator:**
The derivative can be written as
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x}{(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{2}{3}} (x+4)} - \frac{(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(x+4)^2}$$
Multiplying top and bottom to get common denominator
$$(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{2}{3}} (x+4)^2$$
8. **Rewrite second term with the denominator:**
Note that
$$(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}} = (3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{2}{3}} (3x^2 - 5)^{-\frac{1}{3}}$$
but it is simpler to multiply numerator and denominator appropriately:
Multiply the first term by \((x+4)\) and the second term by \((3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{1}{3}}\) to write:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2x (x+4) - (3x^2 - 5)^{1/3} (3x^2 - 5)^{2/3}}{(3x^2 - 5)^{2/3} (x+4)^2}$$
Simplify numerator:
$$2x (x+4) - (3x^2 - 5) = 2x^2 + 8x - 3x^2 + 5 = -x^2 + 8x + 5$$
9. **Final expression:**
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-x^2 + 8x + 5}{(3x^2 - 5)^{\frac{2}{3}} (x+4)^2}$$
Hence,
$$A = -1, \quad B = 8, \quad C = 5$$
