Find f' and f'' y=(6x^5/5)-7x

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[y=\frac{ 6x^5 }{ 5 }-7x\]\[=\frac{ 6 }{ 5 }x^5-7x\] Does it help if you can look at it like this maybe? Both of these you need only apply the power rule, need some help with that? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f' of 6/5 x^5 is 6x^4 and f' of -7x is just 7 right?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

very good :) one minor error, the derivative of -7x = -7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D'oh!! oh yea

zepdrix (zepdrix):

gonna take a shot at f''? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so f'= -42x^5 + 6/5x^5 - 7?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

whu? :o

zepdrix (zepdrix):

\[f'(x)=6x^4-7\] You already found this :) now try to find f''(x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f''= 24x^3

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yay gj c:

thanks!! i have to remember that way to write the fraction, it was throwing me off
