How do you solve 2 x 17?

Answer 1

-15

Answer 2

Hope I'm right :P

2-x^(17)

Since 2 does not contain x, the derivative of 2 is 0.
(d)/(dx) 2-x^(17)=0+(d)/(dx) -x^(17)

To find the derivative of -x^(17), multiply the base (x) by the exponent (17), then subtract 1 from the exponent.
(d)/(dx) 2-x^(17)=0-17x^(16)

Combine all similar expressions.
(d)/(dx) 2-x^(17)=-17x^(16)

The derivative of 2-x^(17) is -17x^(16).
-17x^(16)

Answer 3

2 x 7 = 14, write down 4, carry 1

2 x 1 = 2, and add the 1 carried above = 3 and write that (3) down to the left of the 4

Giving 2 x 17 = 34.
