in order to the first you lower the power by one like this
3x^2+2x^1+5 that is der right?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
you also have to divide by the original index
14 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you divide by 3 because of 3x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^n=nx^n-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so if I divide by 3, than that would make this x^2 instead of 3x^2 I am on the right track?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
y' 3x^2 is X^2 right?
14 years ago
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
i should have said times by the index
\[y(x)=ax^n\qquad\Rightarrow\qquad y'(x)=anx^{n-1}\]

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
so sorry if i confused you

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so times by index makes 3x^3 Y' 6x^2 right?

not quite
\[y(x)=3x^3\qquad y'(x)=3\times3x^2\]

here is what I know y' when doing this you lower the power by one and something??
14 years ago
OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
when taking the derivative multiply by the power and then lower the power
14 years ago
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so you are telling that power before lowering divide to y'

like this 4x^3 so that would be 'y 4 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
y'(x) would be 8x

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
thats right now

OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so the power is what you are times before lowering the power?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
that is right

so for another example 10X^5 y'(x) 50x^4

you have the first two terms right,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
\[f(x)=x=x^1\]
\[f^\prime(x)=1\times x^{1-1}=x^0=1\]

so y'(x) 9x^2+4x+1+5

the derivative of the last term
\[g(x)=5=5x^0\]

its just a different notation, they men the same thing

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
the second has a bit more information because it explicitly say that we are to take the derivative of the function with respect to x, ie we look at the power of the x terms,

y'(x) 9x^2+4x+1 so plug in 3 so we have y'(x) 9x^2 (3) +4x(3) +1 which is y'(x) 27x^2+ 12X +1

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):
\[y(x)=3x^3+2x^2+x+5\]
