what is the derivative of y = x100/100 - x50/50 + 50

Question

Calcus question I don't understand the concept.

Answer 1

This looks like a power rule derivative which denotes the following.

 

f(x) = x^n

 

f'(x) = nx^n-1

 

y = (x^100)/100 + (x^50)/50 + 50

 

y' = 100(x^99)/100 + 50(x^49)/50 = x^99 + x^49
