The+Power+Rule

Basically that means that you take the power of a variable and multiply it by the coefficient and the power is just subtracted by 1. For example if we start with y=2x^3, apply the power rule to it by multiplying the leading coefficient which is 2 by the power which is 3 then subtracting 1 from the starting power. We end up with y=6x^2. This can also be termed finding the derivative of the equation. The power rule is one of the most used and important differentiation techniques. Since differentiation is linear, any polynomial can be differentiated using this rule. For integers ,the derivative of is that is, Pictures from Google Images || media type="file" key="Jayna wiki.mpg" width="300" height="300"This video shows the step by step solution of the homework problem number 28.
 * **The Power Rule** is the following: If is //n// a rational number, then the function //f//(x) = x^//n// is differentiable and d/dx[x//^n//] = //n//x^//n//-1. for //f// to be differentiable at x = 0, //n// must be a number such that x^//n//-1 is defined on an interval containing
