1. The Power Rule

3 x 4

Practice

Find derivative: $$ f(x) = 2x^5 $$

$f'(x) = $ $x$

2. Addition & Subtraction

Concept: Constants disappear ($ \to 0 $). Powers drop down.

Practice

Differentiate: $$ f(x) = 5x^3 + 2x - 9 $$

$f'(x) =$ $x$ +

3. Roots: Rewrite First

Drag numbers to rewrite the root as a fractional power.

Rewrite: $$ \sqrt[3]{x^2} $$

x

4. Fractions (Reciprocals)

Move $x$ to the top and make the power negative.

Rewrite: $$ \frac{4}{x^5} $$
