Problem written inside :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the derivative of \[g(x)= 2x^2-3\] by using the difference quotient. g ' (x) =_________

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Try it. Use the power rule on the 2x^2, and the derivative of a constant (like -3) is zero.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay... so power rule= Knk(n-1) right? Or did i miss something :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x^2 = 2* 2x^2-2 ?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

^why are you subtracting 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh oops i meant 1 2* 2x^2-1 is that better?

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so 2*2x = 4x ? is that the answer? :O

OpenStudy (agent0smith):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah yay! thank you!!
