If you're just starting calculus, perhaps you're asking about using the definition of the derivative to differentiate
.
We have

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

In general, the derivative of a power function
is
. (This is the aptly-named "power rule" for differentiation.)

Answer:
The area is 522.935 square inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
A trapezoid's area is calculated as follows: h(b1+b2)/2
Plugging numbers in gives 34.3+12.6=46.9
so now all that's left is to multiply 22.3 and 46.9, and divide by 2.
This gives 522.935
Hope this helps!
