Question

If we get something like (4-x^3)^100 can we just use the power rule... 100*4-x^3)^99.(-3x^2) ? would this be considered correct?

Answer 1

are you just taking the first derivative. if so then yes.
// remember to add the parentheses before the 4
100*(4-x^3)^99.(-3x^2)

Answer 2

I'm not sure what the first or second derivative means haha, just started learning derivatives

Answer 3

ok. you'll learn that later, but you used the power rule correctly above.
