The derivative of y = 1/3 x3 - 3x2 + 8x + 1/3 is x2 - 6x + 8. You can determine this for yourself by the rules. The derivative of a constant (e.g. 1/3) is 0. The derivative of xn for positive n (actually all nonzero n) is nxn-1. And if the derivative of f(x) is f'(x), then the derivative of k f(x) is k f'(x). Put all these together and you get the above result.
A dot A = A2 do a derivative of both sides derivative (A) dot A + A dot derivative(A) =0 2(derivative (A) dot A)=0 (derivative (A) dot A)=0 A * derivative (A) * cos (theta) =0 => theta =90 A and derivative (A) are perpendicular
Let y = 3x y' = 3(x)' y' = 3(x1)' y' = 3[1x(1-1)] y' = 3(1x0) y' = 3(1 x 1) y' = 3 In general: y = xn y' nx(n-1)
The derivative of e7x is e7 or 7e.The derivative of e7x is 7e7xThe derivative of e7x is e7xln(7)
the derivative is 0. the derivative of a constant is always 0.
