Question

Differentiate the following function....

Answer 1

\[f(x)=12/x - 4/x ^{3}+1/x ^{4}+2e ^{x}+3\]

Answer 2

Are you familiar with the power rule for differentiation? :)

Rewrite each term so your variables are in the numerator
(remember that the power on x will change from positive to negative when it's flipped like that!)

Maybe that will help :D

Answer 3

In general (power rule)

\[\frac{d}{dx}x^n=nx^{n-1}\]

EX:

\[\frac{d}{dx}x^{-5}=-5x^{-6}\]

Answer 4

thank you!
