Anyone here good with differentiating functions based on the derivative rules?

if only there werent so many derivative rules ....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i bet you have everyone's rapt attention now
OpenStudy (amistre64):
survey says? YES! Ding!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think he has been waiting for a "yes"

@amistre, i going to turning early tonight, later

f(x)= square root of 30 would equal 0 because of d/dx[x]=0 rule right?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
Ciao :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
by x i meant c
OpenStudy (amistre64):
yes
OpenStudy (amistre64):
sqrt(30) is a constant

the derivative of a constant is ....0 since it never changes
OpenStudy (amistre64):
[C]' = 0 think of it as the power rule of x^0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
they are trying to get you to say it is
\[\frac{1}{2\sqrt{30}}\] so then they can laugh at how they tricked you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it isnt 0?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
is your question; what is the derivative of sqrt(30) ?

yes it is zero.
OpenStudy (amistre64):
f(x)= sqrt(30) would equal 0 because of d/dx[C]=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about differentiate the function f(x)=x^3-4x+6 d/dx[x^n]=nx^(n-1) apply right?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
yes, its just a poly that derives out by the power rule
OpenStudy (amistre64):
and d/dx[6]=0
