The problem
Answer provided by our tutors
Our focus is squarely placed on algebraic manipualtions. Some derivation problems may be solved through the quickmath.com solver:
x^3 - 9x^2 + 2
3x^2-18x
The general rule is to zero out any numeric values (+2 differentiates to 0);
multiply any coefficient by the exponent and decrement the exponent by 1 (3x^2 differentiates to 6x), etc.
