anti-derivative of f'(x) = 0
@beccaboo333
I have no idea how to do this kind of math.. I'm sorry :c
it's okay :)
what derivaitve rule gets us a derivative of 0?
it's chain right?
in general ... no
Could you hint me? i'm a little bad with calc.
the hint will be: tell me the derivative rules that you rememebr
chain rule quotient rule product rule
exponent rule, log rule ... none of those say f'(x)=0
the most basic rule is for something of the form: f(x) = x^n
the part that confuses me is "f'(x)" = 0 because the antiderivative of 0 is 0 + c.
they split this rule into two forms simply becuase they dont like x^0 for x=0, otherwise its the same
and 0+c is just some constant
oh I was off with that. :/
\[y=x^0\]\[y'=0x^{-1}=0\] but if x=0 then we get a divide by 0 that everyone frowns upon so they simply make the rule that x^0 is some constant, or just 1 such that: \[y=kx^0\] \[y=k*1\] \[\frac{d}{dx}(y)=\frac{d}{dx}k*1\] \[\frac{d}{dx}(y)=k*\frac{d}{dx}1\] \[y'=k*0\]
so the final turns out to be k * 0, not 0 + c right?
0+c is fine, or k+c, or just C
f'(x)= k * 0
tks
yep
