You literally saves my... I'm studying on a distance course in a foreign language, teacher extremely unpedagogical the few times we see her. Same thing every time, I understand absolutely nothing after lessons, then I go home and watch a few videos that a guy on the other side of the planet has made and share with us for free and slowly I begin to grasp. It'not easy, it's a slow process, grades not the best but I do push through somehow, thanks to you!



Why is the derivative of a number 0?

@zarp29 cause a constant does not change, hence its rate of change is zero

so im having trouble with the derivative of 6*x^(1/2) in the equation
5x^3 - 2/(x^2) + 6*x^(1/2) - 18
I got 15x^2 + 4x^-3 + 3x^(-1/2)
but then i looked up a derivative calculator and got 3/x^(1/2) which makes no sense to me after following the derivative rules.
help please and thank you

@awefilledcreep how did you go from - 2/(x^2) to + 4x^-3?
