Evaluate the derivative of y=x^3/3 - 2sqrtx for x=3

To find the derivative of y = x^3/3 - 2sqrtx  at x =
3.


To find dy/dx at x= 3 , we first find the derivative
.Then find its value at x=3.


Let f(x) = y = x^3/3 -
2sqrtx.


f'(x) = dy/dx = {x^3/3 -
2x^(1/2)}'


dy/dx = (x^3/3)' -
2(x^1/2)'.


We use (cx^n)' =cn*x^(n-1) ,  where c is any
constant but not zero.


dy/dx = 3*x^2/3 -
2(1/2)x^(1/2-1)


dy/dx = f'(x) =
x^2-1/x^(1/2)


f'(3) =
3^2-1/3^(1/2)


f'(3) = 9 -(sqrt3)/3.
