Find the derivative \(\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{- 3 x^{\frac{7}{3}} - 2 x^{\frac{4}{3}} + 2 x^{\frac{1}{3}}}{x^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)


Using termwise division gives \(\displaystyle f(x) = - 3 x^{2} - 2 x + 2\). Now the power rule for derivatives can be used instead of the quotient rule. This gives \begin{equation*}f'(x) = - 6 x - 2 \end{equation*}
