Find the Derivative - d/dx x^3+1
x3+1
Step 1
By the Sum Rule, the derivative of x3+1 with respect to x is ddx[x3]+ddx[1].
ddx[x3]+ddx[1]
Step 2
Differentiate using the Power Rule which states that ddx[xn] is nxn-1 where n=3.
3x2+ddx[1]
Step 3
Since 1 is constant with respect to x, the derivative of 1 with respect to x is 0.
3x2+0
Step 4
Add 3x2 and 0.
3x2
x3+1
