power rule?

2x^(-11)

[obtuse arrow]

ah thanks

[summer perch]

excuse me might be a dumb question to ask but out of curiosity how do i work this out by any chance could u explain?

[pine ravine]

power rule is that derivative of x^c where c is a constant = cx^(c-1)

and derivative is a linear operator so the 2 doesn't matter

[pallid minnow]

what

[gleaming plover]

1. power rule...
2. d/dx 2 != 1

[marble lodge]

what you mean?

[gleaming plover]

I mean what I wrote

2x^-11 is a power function

use power rule

if for some reason you want to use product rule... then do it properly

you'd get $x^{-11}\dv{x}(2)+$whatever, so you get $0+$ whatever

2x^-11 and apply the power rule mutiple -11 to 2 which is -22
-22x^-12 now put the degree down to denominator which will make the degree positive
-22/x^12 here is the answer

[marble lodge]

there i changed to by using the power rule

[gleaming plover]

1/x^12

not 1/x^-12

you also responded to a message that was over a month old... and solved already

for... some reason

[marble lodge]

i didn't know it was already solved i try to solve it even if it is already solved

[gleaming plover]

read then?

[pallid minnow]

Power rule

[pallid minnow]

Lmao

[marble lodge]

i did apply the power rule and even online calculator agree that the answer i have is right

[pallid minnow]

Nice

[gleaming plover]

-22/x^-12 isnt right but anyway

[gleaming plover]

-22x^-12 = -22/x^12

yeah

12 isnt -12

[marble lodge]

that is what forget that the when you move back to the denominator it become postive

i changed it

[marble lodge]

i changed it when you move the degree back to the denominator is become postive

[gleaming plover]

k

[spark jetty]

2/(x^11) = 2x^(-11)

[gleaming plover]

it's done.

[spark jetty]

o ok

didn't look at the bottom of the chat
