Question

How do you differentiate `x^pi`?

Answer 1

Use the power rule.

Explanation:

Don't let `pi` confuse or intimidate you. It's just some number that we can't express in digits. It's a little bigger than `3`.

`d/dx(x^n) = nx^(n-1)` for all real `n`. Including for `n = pi`.

So,

`d/dx(x^pi) = pi x^(pi-1)`

(About `3.14 * x^2.14`.)
