Find the Derivative - d/dx x^8

Problem

d(x8)/d(x)

Solution

1. Identify the function as a power function of the form xn where n=8

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

3. Substitute n=8 into the formula to get 8*x(8−1)

4. Simplify the exponent by subtracting 1 from 8 to get 7

Final Answer

d(x8)/d(x)=8*x7
