Example Question #321 : Derivative Review
Find the derivative of .
To take the derivative, remember to multiply the exponent of an x term by the coefficient in front of the x term and then subtract one from the exponent:
.
Example Question #322 : Derivative Review
What is the acceleration function if
Recall that the acceleration function is the second derivative of the position function. First, find the velocity function since that is the first derivative. To take the derivative, multiply the exponent by the coefficient in front of the x term and then subtract one from the exponent:
Now, take the derivative of the velocity function to get acceleration:
