Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Quotient Rule
The quotient rule is a fundamental principle in calculus used to differentiate functions that are expressed as the ratio of two other functions. It states that if you have a function f(x) = g(x)/h(x), the derivative f'(x) can be found using the formula f'(x) = (g'(x)h(x) - g(x)h'(x)) / (h(x))^2. Understanding this rule is essential for simplifying expressions involving division.

Radical Expressions
Radical expressions involve roots, such as square roots, cube roots, etc. In the context of the given expression, simplifying radical expressions requires knowledge of how to manipulate roots, including the properties of radicals, such as √(a/b) = √a/√b. This understanding is crucial for simplifying the expression √150x^4/√3x effectively.
