If you're just starting calculus, perhaps you're asking about using the definition of the derivative to differentiate x^4.

We have

\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x+h)^4 - x^4}h

Expand the numerator using the binomial theorem, then simplify and compute the limit.

\dfrac{d}{dx} x^4 = \displaystyle \lim_{h\to0} \frac{(x^4+4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4) - x^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} \frac{4hx^3 + 6h^2x^2 + 4h^3x + h^4}h \\\\ ~~~~~~~~ = \lim_{h\to0} (4x^3 + 6hx^2 + 4h^2x + h^3) = \boxed{4x^3}

In general, the derivative of a power function f(x) = x^n is \frac{df}{dx} = nx^{n-1}. (This is the aptly-named "power rule" for differentiation.)

5t-14=-14<br> solve the equation for t
ikadub [295]

Hi there!


Before we begin, let's rewrite your equation. :)


5t - 14 = -14


Step 1) Add 14 to both sides.


5t - 14 + 14 = -14 + 14 5t = 0


Step 2) Divide both sides by 5.


\frac{5t}{5} =  \frac{0}{5}


t = 0


Final Answer -


t = 0


Hope this helps!
