Question
What is the derivative of (x)^4/3

Answer
if by this you mean

x^(4/3), whereas x is raised by (4/3), then next time you should type it like that, because your problem could also be taken as (x^4)/3, and if that is the case, then just let me know.

x^n = nx^(n - 1)

f(x) = x^(4/3)
f'(x) = (4/3)x^((4/3) - 1)
f'(x) = (4/3)x^((4/3) - (3/3))
f'(x) = (4/3)x^((4 - 3)/3)
f'(x) = (4/3)x^(1/3)
or
f'(x) = (4cbrt(x))/3
