Find the Derivative - d/dx x^2

Problem

d(x2)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the function to be differentiated, which is a power function of the form xn where n=2

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

3. Substitute the value n=2 into the power rule formula.

4. Simplify the resulting expression by calculating the exponent 2 - 1 = 1$.

Final Answer

d(x2)/d(x)=2*x
