Find the Derivative - d/dx x^4

Problem

d(x4)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the function as a power function of the form xn where n=4

2. Apply the power rule for differentiation, which states that d(xn)/d(x)=n*x(n−1)

3. Substitute the value n=4 into the formula to get 4*x(4−1)

4. Simplify the exponent by subtracting 1 from 4.

Final Answer

d(x4)/d(x)=4*x3
