Question

How do you differentiate `x^pi-pix`?

Answer 1

`pi (x^(pi - 1) - 1)`

Explanation:

We have: `x^(pi) - pi x`

Let's differentiate the expression using the "power rule":

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

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