Your Input

Find $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 5\right)$$$.

Solution

The derivative of a sum/difference is the sum/difference of derivatives:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 5\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3}\right) - \frac{d}{dx} \left(5\right)\right)}$$

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 3$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3}\right)\right)} - \frac{d}{dx} \left(5\right) = {\color{red}\left(3 x^{2}\right)} - \frac{d}{dx} \left(5\right)$$

The derivative of a constant is $$$0$$$:

$$3 x^{2} - {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(5\right)\right)} = 3 x^{2} - {\color{red}\left(0\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 5\right) = 3 x^{2}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{3} - 5\right) = 3 x^{2}$$$A
