Question B.5: Find the derivative of y(x) = 8x^5 + 4x³ + 2x + 7
Find the derivative of
y(x)=8 x^5+4 x^3+2 x+7Apply Equation B.29 to each term separately and remember that the derivative of a constant is zero:
\frac{d y}{d x}=n a x^{n-1} (B.29)
\begin{aligned}& \frac{d y}{d x}=8(5) x^4+4(3) x^2+2(1) x^0+0 \\& \frac{d y}{d x}=40 x^4+12 x^2+2\end{aligned}Related Answered Questions
