What is the first differential of y = t^(3/2)(16-sqrtt)? Calculus Basic Differentiation Rules Chain Rule 1 Answer Alan N. Mar 3, 2017 dy/dt = 24sqrtt -2t Explanation: y = t^(3/2)(16-sqrtt) = 16t^(3/2) - t^(1/2+3/2) = 16t^(3/2) - t^2 Applying the power rule to both terms: dy/dt = 16* 3/2t^(1/2) - 2t = 24sqrtt-2t Answer link Related questions What is the Chain Rule for derivatives?
