Hi this is my first post ever in MHB, and I'm in Calculus 1 wondering which formula to use to find derivatives. There are 2 as far as I know:
(1)
and the one one at the beginning of this:
(2)
Example Problem:
How would i know which formula to use? Is there a particular reason the example used (2)?
Thanks all. This is a quick post so I'm sorry if I'm unaware of the rules here, you can point me in the right direction to unerstand formatting and rules around MHB.
