WEll in this exercise we differentiate those equations that have a whole power of a larger number.
Q.1 (c) is this: (¼x + 2)^5
To differentiate this, follow these steps:
1. write down the power of the bracket as a coefficient in your answer: e.g write 5 for this question.
2. Then write the bracket AS IT IS, but subtract 1 from the power and write the bracket down with its subtracted power: e.g (¼x + 2)^4
We had '5' from the first step. So it will make it like this : 5 * (¼x + 2)^4
3. Finally differentiate the inside of the bracket like you used to do in 15.1 and write it next: e.g: ¼
So the answer will be like this: 5 * (¼x + 2)^4 * ¼
= 5/4 * (¼x + 2)^4
Hope you might understand it
P.S * stands for multiply
¼ is 1/4
