Detail solution
  1. Let u=x1u = x - 1.

  2. Apply the power rule: u3\sqrt[3]{u} goes to 13u23\frac{1}{3 u^{\frac{2}{3}}}

  3. Then, apply the chain rule. Multiply by ddx(x1)\frac{d}{d x} \left(x - 1\right):

    1. Differentiate x1x - 1 term by term:

      1. Apply the power rule: xx goes to 11

      2. The derivative of the constant 1-1 is zero.

      The result is: 11

    The result of the chain rule is:

    13(x1)23\frac{1}{3 \left(x - 1\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}

  4. Now simplify:

    13(x1)23\frac{1}{3 \left(x - 1\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}


The answer is:

13(x1)23\frac{1}{3 \left(x - 1\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}}
