Question

Find the derivative of the following function:

Answer

We use the power rule on each term of the function.

The first term

becomes

.

The second term

becomes

.

The final term, 7, is a constant, so its derivative is simply zero.

Question

What is the first derivative of ?

Answer

To find the first derivative for this problem, we can use the power rule. The power rule states that we lower the exponent of each of the variables by one and multiply by that original exponent.

Remember that anything to the zero power is one.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Answer

This problem is best solved by using the power rule. For each variable, multiply by the exponent and reduce the exponent by one:

Treat as since anything to the zero power is one.

Remember, anything times zero is zero.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Answer

To find the derivative of the problem, we can use the power rule. The power rule says to multiply the coefficient of the variable by the exponent of the variable and then lower the exponent value by one.

To make that work, we're going to treat as , since anything to the zero power is one.

This means that is the same as .

Now use the power rule:

Anything times zero is zero.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

What is the first derivative of ?

Answer

To find the derivative of , we can use the power rule.

The power rule states that we multiply each variable by its current exponent and then lower the exponent of each variable by one.

Since , we're going to treat as .

Anything times zero is zero, so our final term , regardless of the power of the exponent.

Simplify what we have.

Our final solution, then, is .

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

If , what is ?

Answer

For this problem, we can use the power rule. The power rule states that we multiply each variable by its current exponent and then lower that exponent by one.

Simplify.

Anything to the zero power is one, so .

Therefore, .
