Find the Derivative - d/d@VAR f(x)=9x+7
Problem
Solution
Identify the function to be differentiated, which is a linear expression of the form
ƒ(x)=m*x+b Apply the sum rule for derivatives, which states that the derivative of a sum is the sum of the derivatives:
d()/d(x)*(9*x+7)=(d(9)*x)/d(x)+d(7)/d(x) Apply the power rule to the first term, where
(d(a)*x)/d(x)=a Thus,(d(9)*x)/d(x)=9 Apply the constant rule to the second term, where the derivative of any constant is zero. Thus,
d(7)/d(x)=0 Combine the results to find the final derivative.
