# The Power Rule can be proved using implicit differentiation for the case where $n$ in a rational number, $n = p/q,$ and $y = f(x) = x"$ is assumed beforehand to be a differentiable.function. If $y = x^{p/q},$ then $y^q = x^p.$ Use implicit differentiation to show that$y' = \frac {p}{q} x^{(p/q)-1}$

## $$y^{\prime}=\left(\frac{p}{q}\right) \cdot x^{(p / q)-1}$$

in this problem Where? Excuse him. Said the appreciation to prove So we're gonna use this or less. Take debatable bullet size. We dissect X. We have two hands Y times humans for 10 swipe crimes. This wise about your X is equal to p times X to the C minus one. From this we see that then why Prime is off for p times extent P minus one B y a que times what humanise form So we can write this one as peor que times x to the p minus one divided by a white B Q minus one. Now we know why in terms of X and that is given right here. So we're just gonna plug down and we have then pure ju plans extra the P minus one divided by X to the A P or two the power all to minus one that is that equal to pure Q times X to the power P minus one minus a few times too, plus p you are, aren't you? We can let this one has your work. You terms eggs to the P to brightness Jew minus B June plus p invited ju bees will go away. Um, we then will have, um peor que terms x to the A P miners start peor que minus one, and we actually can write this one. That's pure Q times X to the P over few minus one. And we just proved whatever it is, give any problems.
