  • A \(\frac {dy}{dx} = \frac {10x^{5/3}}{3} - \frac {8x^{2/3}}{3}\)
  • B \(\frac {dy}{dx} = \frac {10x^{2/3}}{3} - \frac {8x^{5/3}}{3}\)
  • C \(\frac {dy}{dx} = \frac {10x^{5/3}}{3} - \frac {8x^{5/3}}{3}\)
  • D \(\frac {dy}{dx} = \frac {10x^{2/3}}{3} - \frac {8x^{2/3}}{3}\)
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation:
y = \(\sqrt[3]{x^2(2x - x^2)} = x^{2/3} (2x - x^2)\)

= \(2x^{5/3} - x^{8/3}\)

Now, we can differentiate the function

\(\therefore \frac {dy}{dx} = \frac {10x^{2/3}}{3} - \frac {8x^{5/3}}{3}\)
