Recall

Differentiating nonnegative integer powers — objective 1

Maths4U Original · Short practice

\(f(x)=4 x^{5} - 5 x + 1\).

Find the coefficient of \(\displaystyle x^4\) in f′(x).

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.

Maths4U Original · Short practice

\(f(x)=x^{3} - 6 x + 2\).

Find the coefficient of \(\displaystyle x^2\) in f′(x).

Enter one exact number or fraction unless the question specifies rounding. If it asks for a coefficient of π, enter that coefficient only. Give full reasoning separately for written problems.
