Answer 5

distribute
\[2x^{2}-6x^{4}\]
use power rule
\[\frac{d}{dx} x^{n} = nx^{n-1}\]

Answer 6

how does that rule apply???

Answer 7

the "x^2" and "x^4"

Answer 8

Oh ok you distributed the 2x^2 and now I have to use the power rule but.....i don't exactly know how... :/ can you please explain?

Answer 9

well its posted above..."n" is the exponent
you multiply by exponent, then reduce exponent by 1 and that is the derivative

Answer 10

hm...whats ''d'' in the rule stand for?

Answer 11

Pardon my naive-ness :( AICE Math isnt as easy as my counselor told me it would be

Answer 12

"d/dx" is the notation for derivative of function with respect to variable "x"

Answer 13

here is example
\[\large \frac{d}{dx} 5x^{3} = 5*3x^{3-1} = 15x^{2}\]

Answer 14

OHHHHHHHHHHH i gt

Answer 15

i get it
