Differentiate with respect to x.
|
|
Step 1: Simplify and look for algebraic rewrites. There are none here. |
|
Step 2: Identify any term(s) that are just a constant.
Here the entire equation is a constant. |
|
Step 3: Take the derivative of the constant, which will always be zero.
|
|
Final Result: The derivative of is .
Meaning: – The equation for finding the slope of any tangent line of is . – The instantaneous rate of change for the entire equation is zero, there is no change.
