Find the Derivative - d/dx p^2

Problem

d(p2)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the variable of differentiation and the variable in the expression. The differentiation is with respect to x while the expression is p2

2. Apply the chain rule, assuming p is a function of x

3. Differentiate the outer function p2 with respect to p to get 2*p

4. Multiply by the derivative of the inner function p with respect to x which is d(p)/d(x)

Final Answer

d(p2)/d(x)=2*pd(p)/d(x)
