Question

What is the derivative of `sqrt(30)`?

Answer 1

`0`

Explanation:

Recall that `sqrt30` is a constant, approximately equal to `5.47722558`.

The derivative of any constant, even an irrational one like `sqrt30`, is `0`.

Since the derivative represents the rate of change of any function, the graph of a single value won't change because it is always that value, resulting in a rate of change of `0`.

graph{y=sqrt(30)+0x [-17.53, 18.51, -4.62, 13.4]}

The graph of a horizontal line, which here is `y=sqrt30`, has a slope (rate of change) of `0`.
