Question

Part D

2. Write the proofs for the following derivative rules.
a.
b.
C.
d.
The derivative of a power function:
Note: the power rule works for any real n.
The derivative of the natural exponential function:
The derivative of a sum of functions:
d
dx
-(x")=;
[f(x) + g(x)] =
f(x)+g(x)]=
)=x²-1
(e) = e
On short, (x)' = nxx"
On short, (e*)' = e²|
d
f(x)+g(x)
On short, (f+g)' = f'+g'
The derivative of a difference of functions: f(x)-g(x)]=f(x)-8(x)
On short, (f-g)' = f'-g
