Your Input

Find $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6} - 7\right)$$$.

Solution

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

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6} - 7\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6}\right) - \frac{d}{dx} \left(7\right)\right)}$$

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

$$- {\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(7\right)\right)} + \frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6}\right) = - {\color{red}\left(0\right)} + \frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6}\right)$$

Apply the power rule $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{n}\right) = n x^{n - 1}$$$ with $$$n = 6$$$:

$${\color{red}\left(\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6}\right)\right)} = {\color{red}\left(6 x^{5}\right)}$$

Thus, $$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6} - 7\right) = 6 x^{5}$$$.

Answer

$$$\frac{d}{dx} \left(x^{6} - 7\right) = 6 x^{5}$$$A
