Solution: Derivative Power Rule #1

Solution: Derivative Power Rule #1

Find the derivative [latex]f'(x)[/latex] of:

[latex]\Large{f(x) = 5x^3+2x^2-7x+1}[/latex]

Step 1:

 

We can use the derivative power rule to find the derivative of the given function. We have:

 

[latex]\large{f'(x) = 5(3)x^{3-1}+2(2)x^{2-1}-7(1)x^{1-1}}[/latex]

 

Notice that we brought down the exponent, and subtracted the exponent by 1 for each term.

 

Step 2:

 

Now, after simplifying, we have:

 

[latex]\large{f'(x) = 15x^2+4x-7}[/latex]

 

This is our final answer for the derivative.

Step 1:

 

We can use the derivative power rule to find the derivative of the given function. We have:

 

[latex]\small{f'(x) = 5(3)x^{3-1}+2(2)x^{2-1}-7(1)x^{1-1}}[/latex]

 

Notice that we brought down the exponent, and subtracted the exponent by 1 for each term.
