Question

find the derivative of the function…. f(t)=-8t^5
help please?

Answer 1

okk let me try.

Answer 2

Do you know how to use Power Rule?

Answer 3

power rule for this one :o

Answer 4

yes I do…well sort of…

Answer 5

bring down the exponent, then subtract by 1 from the exponent :)

Answer 6

\[\rm f'(t) = 5\cdot 8t^{5 - 1}\]OK, I set it up for you.

Answer 7

isn't the 8 supposed to be negative?

Answer 8

yes should be -8, still same rules, bring down 5 and subtract 1 from exponent, 5*-8^(5-1)

Answer 9

5*-8t^(5-1)

Answer 10

can you tell us answer?

Answer 11

so it would be -40^4??

Answer 12

-40t^4

Answer 13

yes you got it jessie, but dont forget the t :)

Answer 14

ahh yes than you !

Answer 15

how about finding the derivative of this one?? 6 sqrtx + 3 ^3sqrtx ?

Answer 16

Post it in a new question, and I will help you.
