Hey again everybody, im gonna inform you how to do calculas =D
The derivaitive of x^2 is 2x, the way you solve that is by taking the exponent (in this case 2) and multiply the function by it, before subtracting 1 from the exponent. Thus, *^2 becomes 2x! Simple right?
The derivative of (*-1)^2 is 2(x-1). To get that you use the chain rule, allow me to explain, 1st you find the derivative of the outside in this case (*-1)^2 - > 2(x-1) and then multiply the derivative of the inside by that.Of course, the derivative of x is 1 and the derivative of 1 is 0 ( 2(x-1) * (1-0 )
simple right =D and would ya believe im not even a teenager yet?
