Differentiation and Derivatives Guide

This document provides examples of determining the first derivative of functions using the power rule formula. It contains 7 examples of finding the derivative of various functions with integer exponents. For each function, the derivative is provided using the power rule formula, where the derivative is the coefficient times the exponent times the variable to the exponent minus 1 power. For example, the derivative of y=x3 is 3x2. The document is intended to demonstrate applying the power rule to determine the derivative from various functions with integer exponents.
