Question

How do you find the derivative of `f(x)=x^pi`?

Answer 1

`d/dxx^pi=pix^(pi-1)`

Explanation:

Don't let the irrational number in the exponent freak you out. This is just a standard Power Rule problem.

The Power Rule tells us that

`d/dxx^n=nx^(n-1),` where `n` is any real number.

Thus,

`d/dxx^pi=pix^(pi-1)`
