Question

find the derivitive of f(x)=9x^6 + 5/2x^3/4 - pi x^2 + 6x - 4 DO NOT SIMPLIFY.

Answer 1

\[\Large\rm f(x)=9x^6 + \frac{5}{2}x^{3/4} - \pi x^2 + 6x - 4\]Is this what the function looks like?

Answer 2

yes! @zepdrix

Answer 3

Mmmm looks like we simply apply the power rule to each term, yes? :o
Where is the confusion at?

Answer 4

do i have to multiply \[\pi(2)\]

Answer 5

@zepdrix

Answer 6

For that particular term? Yes good.
The 2 comes down in front, and the x decreases to a 1 power.\[\Large\rm (\pi x^2)'=2\pi x\]

Answer 7

\[54x ^{5}+(15\div 8)x ^{-1/4}-2\pi x+6\]

Answer 8
