Can someone explain to me in intuitive terms why the trick of bringing the the exponent out front and then reducing the power by 1 works?
Solving problems using the Limit definition of a derivative (where we take a secant line closer and closer to a point) makes great intuitive sense, but I can't wrap my feeble mind around where the shortcut method for finding a derivative comes from...
Thanks
