The derivative of x<sup>n</sup> can be found using the power rule:
dx<sup>n</sup>/dx = nx<sup>n-1</sup>
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivative of each of the terms.
For example,
d(x<sup>5</sup>+x<sup>4</sup>)/dx = 5x<sup>4</sup>+4x<sup>3</sup>
dx<sup>n</sup>/dx = nx<sup>n-1</sup>
The derivative of a polynomial is the sum of the derivative of each of the terms.
For example,
d(x<sup>5</sup>+x<sup>4</sup>)/dx = 5x<sup>4</sup>+4x<sup>3</sup>
