**Problem Statement:**

Find the first and second derivative of the function:

\[ G(r) = \sqrt{r} + \sqrt[3]{r} \]

**Solution Steps:**

1. **First Derivative Attempt:**

   \[
   G'(r) = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} + \frac{1}{3x^{\frac{2}{3}}} \quad \text{(Incorrect Solution, indicated by a red 'X')}
   \]

2. **Second Derivative:**

   \[
   G''(r) = \quad \text{(Box for input)}
   \]

**Enhanced Feedback:**

Remember to use the Power Rule:

\[
\frac{d}{dx} (x^n) = nx^{n-1}
\]

Keep in mind that \(\sqrt[n]{r} = r^{1/n}\) and \(\sqrt{r} = r^{1/2}\). The second derivative of a function is the derivative of the derivative of that function. Therefore, first find the first derivative, then take the derivative of the first derivative to find the second derivative.
