Origin: http://openstudy.com/users/opcode#/updates/51170a25e4b09e16c5c89835 Thank everyone. That's all ^_^. Opcode AI™ is officially now closed. @Preetha this okay right? Because it's a review.

Nicely done, Opcode. :) Strangely enough, answering all of those questions wasn't too bad :P

OpenStudy (opcode):

Thank you @PSI. I wouldn't be possible if you weren't there :3 \(-Opcode AI™\)

@Frostbite come here. The function \(f(x)=x^3\). Definition of a derivative: \[f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}\] Now I had to break this down :P I know that \(h\) means \(Δx\). I know that \(Δx\) means \(Δx=x2−x1⟹x2=x1+Δx.\) Then I got: \[f'(x) = \lim_{h\to 0}\frac{(x+h)^3-x^3}{h}\] \((x+h)^3-x^3=x^3+3x^2h+3xh^2+h^3-x^3=h(3x^2+3xh+h^2)\) Solve: \[\lim_{h\to 0}\frac{h(3x^2+3xh+h^2)}h\] \[\lim_{h\to 0} (h^2+3 h x+3 x^2)\] \[3x^2\] Ugh, so much work for such a little problem -_-.

Pefect :)

But sense you don't like so much work time for another question: We have another rule (still have to prove the other one btw) that if we have a function on the form: \[f(x)=ax^n\] The derivative is given by the following rule: \[f'(x)=anx ^{n-1}\] Prove that again using the definition for the derivative.
