Sample: the first question, solved

According to the power rule, what is the derivative of f(x)=xⁿ?

📘 Worked solution
The power rule brings the exponent down as a multiplier and reduces it by one: f'(x)=nx^(n−1).

And one from the hard end

"Find the derivative of f(x)=3x⁴−5√x+2/x², rewriting all terms with exponent notation first."
