How would I go about doing this? Which rules do I use?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of \(x^3\) is \(3x^2\) by the all mighty power rule

OpenStudy (flexastexas):

Well I know the power rule but the real question is, how did you apply it to a equation with no exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure what you mean they all have exponents, unless i am missing one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh do you mean the number out at the end?

OpenStudy (flexastexas):

Oh I see it F(X) = x^3 + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the derivative of a constant (number) is zero

OpenStudy (flexastexas):

I was looking at the definition thinking that was what i was supposed to solve

OpenStudy (flexastexas):

So question.... Could you explain that definition and could we do a couple of examples?
