Homework Statement


1 / (3√x2 )


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


the overall power of x in denom becomes ( 1/2 * 2 * 1/3 = 1/3)
taking in num , it becomes (-1/3 + 1 = 2/3) so answer should be x2/3 / (2/3)
which is wrong , please help

[itex]\displaystyle \frac{1}{\sqrt[3]{x^2}\,}=\frac{1}{x^{2/3}}=x^{-2/3}[/itex]

[itex]\displaystyle -\frac{2}{3}+1=\frac{1}{3}[/itex]
